Question: ‘What issue around your student experience would you like to see prioritised by your sabbatical officers?’


what’s next and Priority 8
We’ve now idenitified the key themes you would like your Sabbs to prioritise and your feedback will help form the future issues we lobby to the University.
Feedback from Speak Week, the National Student Survey (NSS), Rate Your Union and the Academic Rep system also inform the top 20 issues which will be on the ballot for 2026 Leadership Elections for the next Priority 8. In March, students will vote for their next Sabbatical Officers and rank the issues they would like to see worked on. The eight issues with the most votes become the Priority 8 which the next Sabbatical Officers will work on. Check out what was on the ballot last year!
You can check out this year’s Priority 8 progress on our website.
