What is the Students' Union?

The Students’ 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 Students’ Union President, who works closely with the Student Experience Officer, Sean, to support clubs, societies, and enrichment activities across the College.

Our Student Centre

We have a custom-built Student Centre with a ping pong table, air hockey, pool table and games consoles.

The Student Centre is the perfect place for students to hang out during down-time, catch up with friends or even meet new likeminded people.

Some of our clubs and activities are held here. We try and cater to all, and our clubs are no different. We offer movie nights once a month where students can vote on films to watch, a LGBTQ club and a gaming club.
