What Is The Union Your Students’ Union (SU) is a membership-led charity; run by students, for students, and we are the only union in the country to represent students from two different universities. We focus on the academic, social and support needs of all students and we do that through three teams: Student Voice (representation and democracy), Activities (Sports, Societies, Volunteering, Fundraising) and Advice (free impartial and confidential service on housing, finance, academic appeals etc). Course Reps are a key part of Academic Representation, which is managed and supported within the Student Voice Team. The SU represents students studying at both Falmouth University and the University of Exeter’s Cornwall campuses. Our students are spread across three campuses; Truro, Falmouth and Penryn, and we also have students studying by distance learning and at Falmouth University’s partner institutions. On both Falmouth Campus and Penryn Campus, both universities invest in and own a separate company, FX Plus, which manages all of the non-academic services and facilities, such as accommodation, food outlets and Student Services.
