Faculty Union Structure
There are three faculty unions which run as constituent parts of the Union. These are largely historical in origin and retain many traditions, such as their names when most of the actual faculties now have different names. They represent the students in their respective faculties: the City and Guilds College Union (for engineers), the Royal College of Science Union (for scientists) and the Imperial College School of Medicine Students' Union (for medical students). They are all run by part-time officers elected from the student body, with the exception of the Medical Union President, who is an elected full-time sabbatical officer with a one year tenure.
In 2002 the Royal School of Mines Union was absorbed into the City and Guilds College Union and became a clubs & societies committee (CSC). However in 2010 after running autonomously from City and Guilds Union for many years. The Royal School of Mines regained its student union status, solely looking after the social aspects of its students.
