Representing you
The Students' Union is here to represent your academic interests so that your time studying at Royal Holloway is a positive and enjoyable experience. By being the collective voice of students we can tackle pressing issues, lobby for social change, and campaign on your behalf - using your views and opinions as guidance.
There are loads of different ways you can actively get involved, including becoming an academic rep and making changes on your course, leading one of our Student Communities as a Community Officer, or getting involved in one of our campaigns.
Your Officers
Every year the student body elects four Sabbatical Officers to work full-time in the Students' Union for a year. They work on a range of issues relating to student life, listening to your thoughts and opinions while running campaigns and working with the Students' Union and the University to implement positive policy changes.

Hiya everyone! Hope you are all doing good as we come to the end of this academic year. I honestly cannot believe that I am writing my last Priority 8 update (actually getting quite emotional writing this hahaha). Throughout this update I am hoping to close the ‘feedback loop’ as we would say and tell you my top highlights from everything I have done with Priority 8 this year.
