Union guide The union guide is a great way to direct to the students before they arrive an university. It is sent to the homes of all prospective students, and it is usually the first contact we the SU have with them.

Also available online the Union Guide provides information for students that they will need throughout their time as students, and as a result serves as a reference point throughout their time studying. The distribution of Union Guide is constant throughout the year, being used at open days and re-Freshers, and to any student who needs it.
