Students' unions put together social events, sports, and societies for a wide range of different hobbies and interests. Find out more here.
Many students' unions have lots of different clubs and societies you can get involved in – anything from street dance and rowing, to marketing or international.
They often list volunteering and employment opportunities too – either roles within the students' union or course provider, or external vacancies they recommend.
So it's a handy first place to look if you're interested in work possibilities.
The NUS is a voluntary membership organisation which promotes, defends and extends the rights of students and develops and champions strong students’ unions.
Many students' unions are part of the NUS.
