The Humanist Students Board is made up of three student volunteers who set the strategic direction of the section. The roles they fulfil are as follows:

  • President-Elect
  • President
  • President Emeritus 

Each member of the board serves a three year term. One year in each of the roles above. This means that every year our student members vote for their President-Elect who then spends a year shadowing the current President until taking over as President at the beginning of the next academic year in September.

The elected President of Humanist Students is responsible for

      • Coordinating student activism on a national level
      • Leading a student movement for human rights and equality
      • Representing Humanist Students to stakeholders and in the media
      • Supporting the creation of humanist societies on campuses UK-wide

You are only able to vote in this election if you are a student member of Humanists UK. Joining Humanists Students is easy, sign up now and receive your free membership. Each Humanists Students member has one vote only.

About Humanist Students

Humanist Students is the student section of Humanists UK. We’re here to represent non-religious students and promote humanist values at universities across the UK. Humanist UK is a leading equality and human rights organisation. We advocate ethical views based on evidence, reason, and respect for other living beings.

Over 70% of young people in the UK are non-religious. We are the voice of that majority at universities. We connect non-religious students to our growing movement for human rights, equality, and a society where rational thinking and kindness prevail.
By becoming Humanists Students President, you will become Humanists UK’s lead student campaigner on:

    • LGBT rights, including equal marriage in Northern Ireland and campaigning against so-called ‘gay conversion therapy’.
    • Supporting ‘apostates’ and people who’ve left high-control religions, who are at risk of isolation, abuse, and death threats.
    • Abortion rights, including the legalisation of abortion in Nothern Ireland and the liberalisation of abortion law across Great Britain.
    • Ending blasphemy laws, including laws in Northern Ireland and Scotland which are used to justify human rights abuses in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere.
    • Inclusive state institutions, including an end to discriminatory faith schools and bishops in the House of Lords, and ensuring fair and equal treatment for everyone, regardless of religion or belief.
    • Public ethical issues, including animal welfare, assisted dying, and environment, and other progressive causes.
