This is Your Union

Whether you are a home, international, part-time, or full-time student, you are a key part of Your Students' Union. Everything we do focuses on the priorities shared with us by our members, and we want to ensure that each voice is represented. Our role is to collaborate with and, at times, challenge the University to ensure you have the best experience while you are here with us.
