Do you have an interest in governance and would like to be involved in shaping the strategic  direction of the University?

A vacancy will arise on 1 August 2025 for a student governor to join the University Board of Governors, and one of its committees.

Any student who will be enrolled during the 2025/2026 year is eligible to apply. Ideally you should be based in Hampshire because onsite meetings usually take place monthly between September and July. If you feel you  have the necessary skills, interest and time to spare then this is your chance to be part of the Governing body in this voluntary role.

The current Student Governor said: "As a Student Governor and University Trustee, you’ll  have a unique opportunity to play a central role at the forefront of the University's strategic  leadership. This exciting opportunity allows you to shape the University's future by bringing  your perspective as a current student. To excel, you should be someone who sees the bigger picture and who is driven by a desire to create meaningful change. If that sounds like you, then this will be an incredibly valuable and rewarding opportunity."
