There's something very exciting happening on Campus.
EXCITING TIMES AHEAD
Your University and Students’ Union now caters for 25,000 students with changing needs.
To provide our students with an amazing student experience, we need to provide world class facilities.
That’s why we have plans to make some pretty big changes!
Our new world class Student Centre and Students’ Union opens for business.

TRANSFORMING THE DELIVERY
OF STUDENT SERVICES
Our vision is to be a leading University and Students’ Union and this project is a giant step towards achieving our ambition. We want to create a social, open and flexible space, which can cater for the changing needs of students and create a new heartbeat for life on campus.
The new Student Centre will transform the provision of student services and support offered by the University and the Students’ Union, pulling these together into one central, state of the art facility.

WHILE WE WAIT
The old Students’ Union building closed in the summer. We have moved just round the corner to two new venues, SU Elmwood and The Speakeasy.
SU Elmwood is home to the Student Officer Team and Student Voice Team; Advice SU; the Clubs & Societies, Enterprise SU and Volunteer SU Offices; and the Finance and Marketing Offices. Plus, there is a modern Student Lounge, SU Shop and lots of bookable rooms.
The Speakeasy still has pool tables, tasty food and bookable event Space for Clubs & Societies.
