The Students’ Union is a voluntary body run by students for students and is available to help you settle into College, provide feedback on your course, make new friends and, if you have a problem either in college or outside, we’re here to help.
On enrolment, you automatically become a member of the Students’ Union (unless you decide to opt out) and you can stand for election as a Students’ Union Officer, and/or become a Course Rep, you can also take part in events organised by the Students' Union.

What We Do
- Students’ Union Officers attend National Union of Students (NUS) conferences, lobbying the government and local MPs, working alongside the NUS on various issues which impact students.
- Students are welcome to contact the Students' Union for a general chat or to discuss a specific problem. Please email the team on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. If you need a face to face chat we will arrange for someone to contact you via Teams. Whilst we can’t promise to solve every issue, we will do our best to signpost you to the people who can.
- Very occasionally, students will find themselves in need of help with a disciplinary issue and we have a dedicated officer who will support you through the process. If you would like their assistance, please contact the Students' Union.
- The Students’ Union works closely with College staff to organise and facilitate the ‘Student Voice’ which enables students to give feedback to the College. The Union helps to recruit course representatives and organises training events and meetings, which reps attend and put forward views and opinions on behalf of the other students in their groups.
- Course Representatives play an important role within the college, as they also speak on behalf of their fellow students at Student Representative Council meetings. They tell the College what they are doing well and what not so well. College staff listen to all comments and, where possible, act upon those comments. Any actions taken or reasons why actions cannot be implemented are fed back through Personal Tutors.
- The Students’ Union gives Personal Tutors information about activities and events that have been organised by the Union.
- Students’ Union Officers attend National Union of Students (NUS) conferences, lobbying the government and local MPs, working alongside the NUS on various issues which impact students.
