The University Council
Student Representatives: Mark Fletcher, Sam Rose (all students), John Comerford (graduates)
The student representatives are elected by a cross campus election, organised by the University and usually held at the end of Easter Term. Although they are often CUSU or GU officers, they therefore serve in their personal capacity. Two student members represent all students whilst the third is elected from amongst the graduate students.

The Council is the principal executive and policy-making body of the University. It has overall responsibility for the administration of the University, for defining its mission, for planning its work, and for the management of its resources. The Council deals with relations between the University and the Colleges, conducts negotiations with outside bodies on many matters (other than those relating directly to the educational and research programme of the University, which are dealt with by the General Board). It is responsible for the appointment or nomination of certain members of internal and external Committees, and for many student matters, (excluding the selection of entrants, which is a College concern).
The Council has a number of sub-committees on which the students members may also sit:
- Executive Committee
- Business Committee
- Planning and Resources Committee
- Resource Management Committee
