Your Union is run by you guys, from the Events Committee to the student newspaper, sports clubs to course reps, the Union has students right at the heart.
We are looking for students who don’t mind making their opinions known, who like chatting to other students about what really irritates them and who aren’t worried about letting the Union and the University know about what they are doing wrong, or right, to come and be part of the Union Council.
Council meets every three weeks or so, and the students who sit on it make the decisions about what policy the Union should be making, about what battles it should be fighting or about what sports clubs should be available!
Full training is provided, and it looks pretty amazing on that all important CV!
