Student Member of Parliament
PART-TIME PAID ROLE - 5 POSITIONS AVAILABLE
There are 5 Student Members of Parliament and there is no set remit for any of these positions to work on throughout the year. It is up to you to create, change or fix anything you want. You can run on any issue or cause you feel needs to be addressed.
Candidates standing for these positions will do so based upon wanting to improve the student experience at Heriot-Watt. This could be anything from wanting a 24-hour shop in the library to increasing the amount of street lighting around campus.
