The Students' Union exists to support a membership of over 14,000 students, promising to make their student experience the focus of everything we do.
Our team works year-round to represent students, to support students, to empower students, and to provide extra-curricular activities which appeal to students across all schools and departments of the University, guided at all times by three priorities:
Voice
We aim to represent the views and voices of students and aim to drive positive change across the SU and at the University.
How do we do this?
- Executive Committee, Student School Officers, Class Reps, and Champions
- Representation on SU and University committees
- Forums and feedback mechanisms
- Partnership activity with the University
Welfare
We aim to support our students when they need someone to turn to. We advise, we advocate, and we promote positive physical and mental wellbeing.
How do we do this?
- Campaigns and support projects
- Independent advice and advocacy
- Cost of living projects and support
- Active signposting to key departments and services
Activities
We aim to provide a wide range of extra-curricular activities that will help students to socialise, learn new skills, and buld an inclusive, fun, and diverse community.
How do we do this?
