Your Students' Union
“If you want to really get the most from your years at Uni,
get involved with your Union.” - Leigh Hankinson,
SU President
Your Higher Education studies will almost certainly be the
most
enjoyable and significant years of your life. But studying is only
one part of the student experience.
As a York St John University student, you automatically become a
member of the Students’ Union. This gives you access to all the
services we provide from emotional and academic support, advice and
representation through to clubs, societies, volunteering and
entertainment. 
We believe that University can transform
your life and we want to help you do that in whatever way you
want.
The Students’ Union is a democratic organisation - students
elect other students to run it on their behalf.
Union officers are elected each year to represent your interests
at every level within the university and outside in the local and
national communities. We represent every aspect of our student body
and are continually looking for ways to make things better from
removing parking charges on campus for disabled students to
improving catering for first year students on campus.
And yes, we do have a bar, albeit a little less dramatic than
the one in Hollyoaks. We also have a shop and a café so everything
you need is provided on campus in a building where there is always
something going on – from film showings to salsa classes, live
music to fashion shows, freecycling to yoga.
Try new sports, show off your
creative talents, become a campaigner
… and much more!
