Your Union Executive Committee

The Union Executive (or Exec, for short) is the core leadership group responsible for making sure student voice and policy decisions are put into action. We act as the executive body of the Student Representative Council (SRC), helping shape strategy, propose new ideas, and lead on key areas of student life.

Together, we:

  • Oversee how policy from the SRC and referenda gets implemented
  • Propose new policies and big-picture changes for the SRC to debate
  • Take the lead on democratic governance across the Union
  • Work with and between the Forums to support collaboration and resolve disputes
  • Represent student views at University-level committees and ensure your voice is heard
  • Help shape the Union’s strategic direction and services
  • Lead the charge on areas like education, wellbeing, opportunities, and postgrad representation

The Exec is made up of your four full-time officers and two part-time postgrad presidents. We're accountable to students, to the SRC, and to the Students’ Association Board – and most importantly, we’re here to make things better for you.

We meet fortnightly, and you can always reach out if you’ve got something you want us to discuss.

Student Representative Council (SRC)

Our elected student officers sit on the Student Representative Council

The Students' Representative Council (SRC), is the legally recognised body for student representation at the University of St Andrews since 1889, including all SRC subcommittees.

The Standing Orders dictate how Councils operates.

Meeting dates

Any matriculated student can attend the beginning of a Councils meeting, and may speak to Councils during the open forum section, whether to raise issues they feel Councils should be addressing, or to give opinions on a motion. 

The meetings this Academic Year will take place at 6pm in Large Rehearsal Room or on Teams, on the following dates:

  • Tuesday, 17 September 2024
  • Tuesday, 15 October 2024
  • Tuesday, 19 November 2024
  • Tuesday, 28 January 2025
  • Tuesday, 25 February 2025
  • Tuesday, 25 March 2025
Submit a motion

If there's an issue you think the Students' Association should address, support, or denounce, you can submit a motion. If approved, motions can force the Association to take action, sending a clear message that students are united on a particular topic.

Any matriculated student may add a motion to an agenda:

  1. Write your motion. See the how-to, and past examples in the documents section below.
  2. Collect signatures and matriculation numbers from 25 students. Full names are not necessary, and you count as one of the 25.
  3. Send your motion and list of signatures/matriculation numbers to the Association Chair ( SAchair@). They will let you know when your motion is due to be discussed in a meeting.
  4. Attend the meeting. You can introduce your motion, and engage in the debate. If this sounds scary, any of our current officers may be willing to introduce the motion on your behalf.
