About us
Who we are
We’ve been rated the best Students’ Union in the UK by the Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey for nine years running. Our students regularly vote us best Students’ Union in the UK in annual surveys. This success comes from years of courageous investment in our services and facilities. We have an annual turnover of some £11m and employ upwards of 800 people, with thousands more involved as student leaders and volunteers.
There are a million reasons we’re award-winning.
We’ve got a fantastic modern building featuring cafes, two shops, four bars, an advice centre and an activities and sports zone, where students can join over 400 sports clubs and societies. There’s something different happening in the SU every day: from club nights to film screenings, live music, theatrical performances and fascinating talks. We offer a relaxed space for students to take time out. We also have a nursery and offer childcare.
