External Speaker Requests

Any ratified society is able to invite external speakers onto campus to interact with its members.

Requests will be considered in line with the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023.

This act makes provision in relation to freedom of speech and academic freedom in higher education institutions and in students’ unions.

Please note that any external speaker requests can take up to two weeks to be processed so please consider this when planning your event and plan as far in advance as possible.

External speakers should NOT be advertised until you have received confirmation that they can come on campus.
