The rule of the agreement between INTO and Queen’s do not allow INTO-Queen’s students to stand and vote in these elections.

INTO-Queen’s students can run to be Student Councillors, School Representatives, Course Representatives and Conference Delegates instead.

Definitely! International students can run in all of our Full-Time and Part-Time Student Officer elections.

If elected to a Full-Time role, you will be required to seek additional permission to stay as a Tier 4 (General Student). This is normally very straightforward. Your time spent as a Full-Time Student Officer does not count towards the maximum period that you are permitted to spend in this visa category.

The Students’ Union will even contribute to your visa costs! (Contact International Student Support for specific visa advice.)

This is usually possible, particularly if you are self-funding.

If you receive funding from the University or from an external source, there may be certain criteria that you have to meet.

Each situation will be different. Contact the Student Voice team if you have any queries.

This is usually possible, particularly if you are self-funding. Things might be a bit more complicated if you are externally funded.
