Students' Union

The Students' Union are here to represent you and work with the university to improve the student experience. Every School has an elected official who can voice course concerns. There are representatives for Black, Asian, LGB, Trans, men and women students, to look after the interests of that demographic. They also host a whole range of societies where you can explore new interests and make new friends.

The Students' Union are home to a range of clubs and societies. These include lots of different hobbies and interests, from K-Pop to knitting. There are course-related societies to build up your CV, to help you get ready for professional life. There are also religious and cultural societies to help you meet people with a shared experience. And if you can't find the society you're looking for, you can make one.

You don't need to be a professional athlete to get involved in sport at the Students' Union. They regularly host give-it-a-go sessions where you can try new sports. There's everything from football and netball, to dodgeball and wheelchair basketball. And for those who do take it more seriously, you can compete in a number of cups and championships. That includes BUCS fixtures across the UK.

The Students' Union are also on hand to provide advice and support. This is a free, confidential and independent service. They can help with academic issues, including advice on how to appeal or make a complaint. They can also advise on financial, housing and employment issues.
