Students’ Union
The Students’ Union (SU) functions as an autonomous organization run by students, serving as your advocate, safeguarding your rights, and ensuring that your opinions are heard when it comes to significant decisions that impact you. Being a student at the University of Nottingham automatically makes you a respected and honoured member of the SU.
The SU's headquarters are situated in Portland Building on University Park Campus, but they have representatives across all campuses of the University of Nottingham. This means that they are always within reach whenever you require assistance.
Their primary reception area, located in the Welcome Zone of the Portland Building, operates from 9am to 5pm. Feel free to drop by and say hello, as well as learn more about the various ways in which your SU can support you.

Become an SU course representative
If you want to make a positive difference on your course and represent your peers, then this could be a great role for you.
Course reps are a vital part of our student voice. Through gathering feedback from your peers, sitting in key meetings and lobbying or campaigning for positive change, you can make a real difference to the academic experience of those on your course.
Course reps are given full training from the SU and offered ongoing support from their school, other reps and the SU all throughout the year. This includes accreditation opportunities and further skills development.
