Elections are coming soon!
As the start of Semester 2 rolls around, we begin to prepare for our annual Student Officer Elections.
Elections 2026 starting soon

The Students' Association is run by students who want to make a difference, have fun, and get paid while doing it! 

Elections season is coming up and we are looking for students who could be the next President, Vice President Activities, or Vice President Welfare. These three roles are the most important part of our organsiation. They keep us connected to students so that we can represent and advocate for you in the best possible way.

This year's officers, Adam, Sukinder and Mary are not running in the 2026 elections, which means there are three positions up for grabs:

  • President – focuses on education, learning and teaching, and represents students at the College's Board of Management
  • Vice President Activities – focuses on designing and promoting events and activities to enrich student life
  • Vice President Welfare – works with the College to ensure good student mental health, and leads on wellbeing events

These are all FULL-TIME roles (you will have to pause your studies) and you will be paid a salary of £26,622 for 35 hours per week. That's a great salary for anyone starting out in their career, or anyone who wants to try something different. You don't need to have lots of experience to put yourself forward, but what you do need is passion for improving things for students at college. The roles all begin on Monday 3rd July 2026.

If you are curious about it, and think you might like to get involved please register your interest here to get more information. Or, maybe you think that someone you know would make an amazing candidate – why not encourage them to run?

More elections information will be coming soon, but if you have any questions you can email elections@ecsa.scot to find out more.

Meet the candidates!
