The Student Association is yours!

As a student of RGU, you have access to all the services that are on offer.

It is made up of many departments, each dealing with a different aspect of student life. Whether you need help or advice, want to join a sports club or a society, write for the student magazine, or get involved in student politics, the Student Association will have something for you!

STUDENT ADVICE & 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 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.
