What is the Student Union?

The Student Union (SU) is a group of students dedicated to representing your voice, organising events, and running campaigns to enhance College life.

Every student automatically becomes a member of the SU when they join us, giving you the opportunity to get involved, share your ideas, and help shape student experiences.

The SU is led by the Student Union President, Dylan, who works closely with the Student Experience Officer, Darren, to support clubs, societies, and enrichment activities across the College.

Have a question or want to get involved? You can find Darren or Dylan in the Student Centre, they’re always happy to help.
