We’re directed by students, for students.
We have different ways for students to direct our work. Whether it's the annually-elected sabbatical officers working on their manifestos and deciding on political matters, the Union Council deciding on our policies, or Course Reps helping improve things at a course level. Students feed their opinions and views to us, ensuring the Union is truly student-led. Our permanent staff teamwork to deliver the Union’s strategic plan and provide consistent delivery of services.
We’re a not-for-profit charity!
We are funded in many different ways. Alongside receiving a grant from the University, we also generate income through trading services, memberships, and media sales. As a not-for-profit organisation, this is all reinvested in services for students. Although we are an independent organisation separate from the University, we do work very closely with them.
