STUDENT VOICE

Beds SU is run by its members (the students of the University of Bedfordshire), who are at the heart of the work Beds SU do. The Union ensures that student views and feedback are championed at all levels, whether that is through the academic representative system; speaking to the Executive Officers either by contacting them directly or posing questions at Union Parliament sessions; or offering students the opportunity to elect their representatives via the annual student elections.
