ALL ABOUT VOTING

GET SUPPORT

We are UCA Students' Union

We're here to represent every student at UCA. By listening to you, we are able to represent your views and make your time at university the best it can be.

So what's the point of the Union? Well, we're independent of the University so we can act quickly without internal bias to get things done. Every year, we hold elections for students to decide who they feel will represent them best. These are called Campus Officers and we have five of them - one for every campus. Because of this, they are your point of contact for advice and support when things aren't going as you planned.

We are connected to the highest levels of the University, making sure your views are at the front of every decision made. You can get involved with this too, simply by running for a position on Student Council, or maybe as a Course Rep.

But we're not all about politics; we love to have fun too! We provide loads of different Clubs and Societies, and offer a vibrant social life. If you think there's something missing, just let us know and we'll help you set up something new. If you want to go big, be part of Glue - your student magazine and radio station.

Ultimately we are here to make life better as a UCA student. There are plenty of ways to be part of the Union and make a change.

We're here for you every step of the way.
