HERE
at your Students’ Union, we work around the clock to make sure you love your life at Salford. We provide everything from our Advice Centre to Sports Clubs and Societies, right through to amazing food, drink and incredible events in the heart of campus, at Atmosphere kitchen and bar.
STUDENT VOICE We ensure that your voice is heard at the University and beyond, all the way from Salford to a national level. When we say we are run by students for students, we mean it. We have a full democratic structure that is at the heart of everything we do; our Sabbatical Officers are all elected students, who work full-time to lead your Union and ensure you have the best possible time while at Salford. The structure is supported by voluntary officers, school representatives and student representatives. We also run a number of student-led campaigns and offer funding opportunities for your potential campaign ideas. So if there’s an issue that’s important to you that you want to shout about, we’ll help you do just that.
ADVICE AND SUPPORT We know that being at University can sometimes be scary and present new challenges for students. At some point you may require some extra advice and support from your Students’ Union, and we’re here to help you. Our Advice Centre specialises in academic matters and is here to provide independent, friendly, professional advice. You can pop in and make an appointment throughout the week to speak to one of our advisors. Our Denizen scheme is also there to support students in their halls of residence, made up of fellow students to help you out and pass on your feedback or concerns to the right people. Rafiki is the Students’ Union’s listening service, led by students, for students. If you’re experiencing any problems while you’re at University, you can come in and talk to our volunteers. They are trained students and can listen to you and provide peer support.They can also signpost you to support services on campus or externally which can help. Rafiki, based in University House is a drop-in service, so you don’t need an appointment. We also offer an instant messaging service, to chat to our volunteers.
