WHO ARE WE?

Your Student Council

Student Council is the primary student-led decision-making body at University of Portsmouth Students' Union (UPSU). Our Student Councillors, together with our Elected Officers, work together to tackle issues and run campaigns which affect all parts of student life, from your course to the wider University experience.

Our Student Council is made up of a group of elected student representatives including the 4 Elected Officers, Faculty Reps, and Network Chairs.

The Student Council will meet approximately every four weeks during the academic year.
