Much of your social life will revolve around the Students’ Union, which provides services, support, activities and entertainment for students.

Getting Involved…

To get the most out of your time at the University, the Students’ Union encourages you to get involved in the wide range of activities offered, as it’s an ideal way to make new friends and try new things.

Membership is absolutely FREE and you’re automatically a member once you register as a student.

Clubs and Societies…

Have you ever tried Ultimate Frisbee or Underwater Hockey? Try something new or pursue an existing hobby by joining a range of clubs and societies. There are almost 100 in total varying from societies such as film, photography, drama and even biscuit appreciation to sport clubs including canoeing, football and surfing.

Support…

But the Union isn’t just a place to let your hair down and be merry – it’s also a place where you can share your problems with our trained student welfare team. The Students Support Services can offer help and guidance with matters such as study support, money advice, health and wellbeing, disabilities and faith. The Union also gives our students a voice; students are elected annually to manage the Union and represent the student body within the University and nationally.
