Student life

Students' Union (SU)

The SU is a charity run by students for students and exists to make students life better. They organise exciting events like Welcome Festival, Bonfire Night and Varsity, creating amazing memories. The SU is home to an Advice Centre which can help you with a range of issues such as housing, finance and mental or sexual health. There are plenty of societies to get involved with like Latin dance, LGBTQ+ and photography. They're a great way to try something new and make friends. There are over 30 sports clubs from recreational to competitive and everything inbetween!
