We also have Student Faculty Reps who support Course Reps at a departmental level to ensure that the student voice is heard and acted upon.

– Raise and Give

The Students’ Union strives to give students the opportunity to engage with local and national charity organisations that students are passionate about. We will give you the opportunity to raise money for charities you care about through a range of events and campaigns! All of this will allow you to develop your skills, meet new people, engage in fun activities, and give back to the community.

– Societies

We have a wide range of societies, and there’s sure to be something for you - but if not, why not start your own? All you need is a great idea to start your own society on anything you are interested in and we will help you develop that idea into an active group of like-minded students.

This is a free, independent, and confidential advice service. We can offer general advice on university processes, as well as guide you through academic or misconduct appeals or complaints. Our full-time StudentVoice & Advice Co-ordinator is available in the Union offices or by e-mail on weekdays from 8-4 pm, you can email the Advice Clinic at [email protected].

Also, we are here to help students and recent graduates on their journey of self-discovery, broaden their horizons, show them all the wonderful opportunities available, and support their transition.

A dedicated team can help with finding part-time work, offer support in searching for work experience placements or volunteering, and offer support to gain a graduate job or place on a postgraduate course.

We do this through a variety of exciting activities and initiatives and work with academics and employers to enhance the employability of all our students and impact positively in the community.
