UNION STUDENTS’

On accepting an offer to study at the University, students automatically become members of Beds SU, which offers a great range of services and entertainment. From championing students’ opinions to supporting a range of societies, Beds SU aims to empower every student to achieve their full potential, as well as provide a great student experience along the way.

Student community

Students can get involved in a whole range of events and activities whilst at university, from joining one of the union’s many societies to getting involved in volunteering opportunities.

Beds SU has a huge range of faith, academic, cultural and recreational societies aimed at helping you meet like-minded people and life-long friends, whilst enjoying extra-curricular activities. Volunteering is a great way to build valuable skills whilst giving something back to the community. There are plenty of ways you can get involved in volunteering at the SU, from representing your university community to fundraising events.

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 Sabbatical Officers either by contacting them directly or joining them either via online or in person meetings; and offering students the opportunity to elect their representatives via the annual student elections.

Advice and support

Beds SU provides all students with access to free, confidential and impartial advice on all aspects of University life including finance, housing issues, representation, safety and welfare. Student life can be challenging at times and that’s why Beds SU has a friendly, dedicated team at hand to offer individual support when it’s needed.
