Get Involved

Discover all the ways you can get involved with UCDSU

Whether you’re here for the craic, because you’re cracking up, or both, there are no shortage of ways for you to get involved. We work on issues that UCD students have told us matter. There’s no experience required! Sometimes it’s as easy as checking our Instagram page or seeing what’s in our latest email update. We are a multifaceted Students’ Union that fights for better outcomes for all. Here are some ways for you to get involved in your Students’ Union.

  • Class Rep

    Class Reps play a diverse and integral role in the Students’ Union; informing decisions on Union Policy, communicating and engaging with their peers, and representing those peers both at Union Council and meetings across the wider campus.

  • Community Rep

    Community Reps will sign up to our volunteering programme and can volunteer for as many (or as few) events that they wish.

    The role offers great flexibility – allowing the individual to volunteer only at events that they have the availability for / are interested in.

  • Campaign Coordinators

    Are you passionate about social issues? Interested in being a student leader? Want to make change happen? Then you should run for a campaign coordinator position with the SU!

  • Entertainments Forum

    Are you interested in event management, organising gigs and great events for students, working with nightclubs and various venues around Dublin? Then The Entertainments Forum is for you!

  • RAG Committee

    RAG stands for “Raise and Give” and is the Charity and Fundraising branch of the Students’ Union.

    RAG Committee Members will meet with the RAG Officer and Entertainments Officer to discuss fundraising opportunities on campus, help plan RAG Week events and volunteer at charity and fundraising events on campus.

  • College Officer

    A College Officer is the Students’ Union representative from an individual college in UCD. There are currently six colleges in UCD and eight College Officers, including an Irish Language Officer. The primary duties of a College Officer are to hold College Council and attend Union Council and Executive. Successful candidates are elected on a part-time basis that they fulfil alongside their studies.

  • Sabbatical Officer

    A Sabbatical Officer or “Sabbat” is a full-time paid role, elected by the students of UCD every year. They are tasked with the day to day running of the Union as set out by the UCDSU Constitution.
