City Students' Union

Who we are

About Us.

With a rich history spanning 104 years, City University London Students’ Union is the primary organisation representing the views of the 18,000 students at City University London to the institution and beyond.

With 3 Full-Time Student Of cers, 8 members of permanent staff and a team of volunteers, the Union punches above its weight in terms of the impact that it is able to make, but is ambitious to develop even further. As well as providing student representation, advice and support for students, the Union also runs a number of opportunities, including volunteer- ing and over 80 different student societies. The Union also sells ethically sourced University branding clothing and merchandise.

The Students’ Union Trustee Board has now been formed since it became a registered charity in November 2012 and has undergone a major developing program ensuring that the Board is skilled to respond to the new challenges and opportunities that the Union will face.

The Students’ Union does not currently own the University bar or coffee outlets, which presents a challenge in terms of income generation, but also allows for the Union to focus on other areas of work and opportunities to increase pro ts such as running more pro table events and increasing what is offered by our current commercial services including branded clothing and an online shop.
