吃瓜tv Students' Union

吃瓜tv Students' Union is an independent organisation, based on Whiteknights campus, that exists to represent, support and provide opportunities for all students studying at the 吃瓜tv.

The union building provides places to socialise, eat, drink, and study, and is also home to the largest nightclub in 吃瓜tv.

As a student, you are automatically a member of the union, and entitled to have a say in directing the organisation. 吃瓜tv Students' Union runs for more than 1,500 student representative roles and a termly Student Voice forum, to ensure that students’ views are shared with both the University and local community.

吃瓜tv Students' Union is led by student-elected officers whose roles are to create positive change for students and decide on the direction and priorities of your students’ union. As members of the University’s decision-making committees, they campaign on behalf of students.
