Student Union

Student unions exist in nearly all colleges and universities in one form or another, and enrolling at Weston College means you automatically become a member of the SU.

Weston College Student Union is one of many affiliated to NUS, you are eligible for an NUS card and all of the benefits that that brings. Just pop into the Student Union office on the main campus and speak to Dave Cook or Claire Moore.

The functions of students' unions are primarily threefold. Firstly, to support and represent members. Secondly, to house union clubs and societies. And thirdly, to provide cheap commercial services to members, of which the proceeds can be put back into support and representation.

Aims of the Student Union

Run by students for students
The Executive is responsible for the running of the Student Union and ensuring your voice is heard once you get to the college.

Services and events
Alongside a team of volunteers we provide all kinds of services and events on all campuses, such as Fresher's Fairs, campaigns, parties and trips.

Raise the profile
Raising the profile of the Student Union will ensure that students benefit 100% from what they are entitled too throughout the year.
