Students' Union

The Union helps you to do more at ÂÒÂ×Ðã, experience something you've always dreamt of, turn a curiosity into a new passion and help you reach your potential. The Union cares about the things you care about, it's made up of all kinds of people from all kinds of places and it's there to fight for you when you need someone in your corner.

Students' Union ÂÒÂ×Ðã is the representative body of all ÂÒÂ×Ðã students. It's run by students for students and is a registered charity, independent of ÂÒÂ×Ðã. All ÂÒÂ×Ðã students at every level are automatically members of the Union (but can opt out), and the Union's leaders are elected annually by and from all current students. The elected leaders are called Sabbatical Officers and they represent students on various ÂÒÂ×Ðã committees and campaign on the issues that matter to students. Alongside the Sabbatical Officers are more than 1000 voluntary representatives, elected or appointed to cover every part of ÂÒÂ×Ðã life.
