Representing You

Your Students’ Union is here to represent the academic interests of all Northumbria students, what’s more we are here to improve the University experience for all student groups whether based on academic choices or social and cultural identifiers. We support reps by training them so that they are able to create positive change about the issues that matter to students from all backgrounds.
Here are some of our key achievements:
