Our mission
Elected officers
Making life better for students at Bucks
Each year, elections are held for our four elected (or sabbatical) officer positions. The roles are full-time and are part of our Executive team helping to deliver the student experience we are so passionate about. These officers can hold the role for two years and their aim is to make life better for students at Bucks.
We truly believe the plan is leading us to become a more dynamic organisation that is able to inspire our members whilst tenaciously representing students at Bucks. Throughout each academic year, we carry out extensive research amongst our stakeholder groups to ensure that we are on track with the plan and delivering on all aspects. For full information on our services, you can read our Membership Guide at bucksstudentsunion.org/ membershipguide
The Big Deal Once a student enrols Bucks, they are automatically a member of Bucks Students’ Union and we believe in putting our members first. As part of our exclusive Big Deal package we are the only UK university to offer our members free access to such a diverse and inspirational range of activities – all to enrich the university experience. The Big Deal is designed to encourage our members to try different activities, make new friends and to join in with the Bucks community, all completely free. For further information, please visit bucksstudentsunion.org/bigdeal.

Our small, but very supportive Students’ Union team based here offer exceptional service across our representation, activities, training and development functions, again all free thanks to The Big Deal.
