Being elected as a member of the DUSA Executive is a unique career opportunity where you can work with a dedicated team to ensure University of Dundee students have the best experience possible.

Division Presidents are the primary elected student representatives within each academic division, introduced as part of the University’s transition from eight academic Schools to four faculties and division-based structures. This role replaces the former School President positions from 2026 onwards.
The Independent Member of Court (IMC) is an important role. The elected post holder will become a governor of the University and more information can be found here: dundee.ac.uk/governance/university/court
The IMC is not a representative position like the other elected roles, but one which requires the post holder to put the interests of the institution first. It is an opportunity to help contribute to major decisions on the future of the University.
