Student groups

Welcome to your Students' Union! We are so excited to have you join our community of students and staff, and we hope that your time here is everything you dream it will be.

At University of East London Students’ Union, it is our job to help you get the most out of university. We provide fun activities and events that help you to make new friends, and we create opportunities for you to improve your skills so that you are more employable when your time here is over.

We have a range of student groups that you can get involved with during your time here. These range from hobby groups, like Gospel, K-pop or Anime and Manga Society, to faith groups, to academic groups. There is something for everyone, but if you have an idea for a group that we do not have yet, it is easy to set one up!

These groups will help you to find like-minded people and make connections, all while sharing your interests with other students. You can find out more about the groups that are available to join, by visiting page 8 of this guide.

Make sure you join us on social media for updates about Welcome Week. Once you have enrolled, we will also be able to send you emails to keep you updated with our news and activities.

We exist to give voice to the collective opinion of students, through our student officers, school and course representatives, and community groups. On every level, we make sure that the University is listening to students’ thoughts on their education and the issues that are important to them.

We are here to support you when you need us. We can provide advice if you run into difficulties while you study here. If you have any issues with your coursework or require an extension, then we can advise you on how to go about this. For more information on this free service, please go to page 12.
