Avg. Read Time: 3m 20s
For all students studying at the University of Cambridge, here’s a short run-through of everything you need to know about your SU.
What is the Student Union, you ask? It’s an embodiment of you, the student. Here to champion and advocate your interests and needs, represent you, provide support and be your voice in the community.
Led by fellow elected student officers, they are focused on helping and improving all matters that impact your student journey throughout university.
Exeter Students Guild is led by Exeter students, with a team of full-time officers representing your interests, from voting in elections to tackling issues on campus.
The student union at Exeter is a one stop shop for you and anything you could need while you’re studying at Exeter University.
We think it’s important to get to know what your student union can do for you while you’re at uni, that’s why we’ve put together a useful guide as a starting point. Whether you’re at the Streatham or St. Luke’s Campus – both are very easily accessed from our student accommodation in Exeter – you’ve got the opportunity to join societies, access support services, vote in elections or just somewhere to go to catch up with course mates over a coffee.
The Role of Cambridge SU
In a nutshell, the role of the student union is to help mould your student experience and help you think about life beyond university, by empowering members and building communities. But not only this, there will be social events, sports and more to cater for all types of hobbies & interests throughout the year.
“Cambridge SU provides high-quality tools, skills, strategies, knowledge, and development opportunities for students to shape their education and experiences”.
