Vote and submit ideas!

The Ideas System is simple way for students to submit ideas and vote on ideas from other students. If it's something simple, we will look into it straight away and see if it can be acheived. If it needs more resource and student support, it needs 50 positive votes to go to the most relevant Council. Here it can be voted on as policy and change can be campaigned for! Click here for more information and previous ideas.

To rate an idea that has already been submitted, simply select thumbs up or thumbs down to indicate whether you like the idea or not. That's how simple our system is! You can also add comments to ideas and start a discussion with your fellow students.

If you have any queries regarding the ideas system, please email su-council@le.ac.uk

Please note: Once an idea is submitted, it has 2 weeks to reach the 50 positive votes needed to move to the next stage in the policymaking process. Ideas will automatically go down after 6 months.

    Offer Semester Abroad opportunities to students

    Current

      Whilst the university offers year abroad placements and summer abroad opportunities, they do not offer any semester-long opportunities abroad. A lot of students would apply for the opportunity to study abroad if they did not have to commit to an entire year abroad. This is a perfect middle-ground option for students who find year-long programmes too lengthy or summer programs too short/not having availability during summer. This choice would allow more students to have study abroad experiences, fitting diverse student needs and making study abroad a lot more accessible.
