The student union is the place to make your CV fizzle. As the job market gets tougher its always a bonus to have extra experiences and skills to make you stand out from the crowd.

As a President of a society or part of a committee you’ll gain a great deal of experience in teamwork and leadership, or if you join a club or society you will stand out from the crowd as someone with a wider knowledge and interest.

If you have a particular interest in an area there is also opportunities to flesh out in that particular direction. From creative areas such as photography and design to more academic such a accountancy and there is a great deal of opportunities.

Beyond the experiences the union also offers a number of different in house training courses including media skills, leadership, finance, working with vulnerable people and recognised first aid courses.

A great deal of the activities that we offer and you can get involved with may also give you the opportunity to take part in the LiFE electives meaning you can work on your degree whilst doing something at the union.
