Here at the University of Nottingham Students’ Union, we are a connected student community. A brilliant, diverse, ambitious community, 34,000 strong.

We’re a diverse community from first-year undergraduates to research students, elected student Officers and staff, to volunteers, pioneers, and so much more. Together, we are getting involved, making change and supporting each other, making student life at the University of Nottingham the very best it can be.

As a registered charity we act as the recognised representative body of all students at the University, and every student is automatically a member free of charge. We provide a range of activities, events, campaigning, commercial and professional services that benefit and support students to get involved, find support and make change. 

We support students to share and voice their views on academic life and the wider University experience and have strong student leadership in fourteen full and part time elected student representatives.

We work with and support events and activities through the student committees of over 200 societies, 70 sports clubs, media groups, student halls and residents associations and other student communities and we facilitate over 4,000 volunteers to take part in community projects. Through our trading company, UNU Services Limited, we run two SPAR shops, a bar, coffee shop, clothing shop and a print shop. Our annual financial turnover, for the charity and trading company combined is in excess of £9m annually. 

We employ over two hundred staff across 17 commercial and membership services. Around half of our staff are students who balance work with their studies and social lives. Other staff work full-time, some are part-time and some are required only during term-time and work for just part of the year.
