Do I get paid to be a committee member?

Being a member of a society or being on the committee of a society is a voluntary role, which is not paid by the Students' Union. 
However leading a society at Your Students’ Union is an extremely rewarding experience for any student.

These voluntary roles equip you with a whole range of new skills such as:

  • Effective oral and written communication
  • Financial management
  • Project planning and execution 
  • Team management and leadership
You can also get rewarded by our very own Leadership Awards and Leadership Badges, which are compatible with LinkedIn and recognised by employers.​
