How the Students' Union benefits you

The Students' Union is an active representation of students on campus. As a member, you'll benefit from:

  • socialising, by joining societies, sports clubs, events and trips
  • dedicated spaces to meet, eat, party, work and relax
  • personal support including advice on funding, accommodation and academic courses
  • volunteering opportunities and a chance to take on paid representative roles
  • opportunities to share your views at a higher level

The Students' Union at Bradford is run by students, sabbatical officers, and part-time reps. If you'd like to be a voice for students and contribute to the wider community, search the University of Bradford Union (UBU) website.
