rgu:union provides support to all students at RGU. The Union is here to ensure that student life at RGU is fun and filled with great social opportunities as well as academic ones.

The Union is the place to go if you need advice on any issue from finance to academic appeals. If we do not have the answers we will be able to point you in the direction of someone who does. We also offer somewhere to go after a hard day at university where you can unwind, enjoy yourself with friends and find out about joining clubs and societies.

Student Advice and Volunteering

rgu:union has its very own Student Advice and Volunteering Co-ordinators who are trained to give you information on a wide range of issues. If you need advice on how to join a medical practice or where to go to get your student loan our  Advice Co-ordinator is the person to speak to.

The volunteering service provided by the Union's Volunteering Co-ordinator will help you to develop your C.V. by providing you with the opportunity to gain a wide range of skills in a field that interests you. Volunteering through RGU: UNION will also provide you with a certificate acknowledging your achievements.

In addition to the general advice described above, the Union has a President who provides support to students who are going through academic appeals or dealing with other sensitive situations.
