The Sabbaticals are elected each year in the spring term. They take a year out of their studies (which can be at the end of their course) and work full time for the Union as its most senior officers. Any student can stand for election.
You can contact any of the Sabbaticals whenever you need help and advice or to raise any issues. Their offices are on the first floor of the Union building in Beit Quad, South Kensington.
Sabbaticals are paid a living allowance, similar to a PhD bursary, and receive free accommodation in Imperial College halls of residence. But it’s not all perks, as they can often end up working upwards of 80 hours a week!
The Union has four Sabbatical Officers: the President and three Deputy Presidents. In addition, the Editor of Felix, the student newspaper and the President of the Faculty of Medicine Students’ Union are both sabbaticals.
