Your Students' Union is an independent organisation, and registered charity. We work closely with the University, but are proudly independent, working to empower you to speak up about matters you are passionate about. Whether you want to make improvements to your course, campus facilities, take part in societies or sports clubs, or simply help to make positive changes around campus and the local community, we're here to give you a platform to do that.

All students are automatically made a member of the Students' Union once they enrol on to a course with University of Leicester. As one of our members, you can access all our services and get involved with opportunities including Volunteering and Societies, Academic Representation, Peer Mentoring  and so much more. There are over 250 student groups to get involved with - made up of both societies and sports clubs - all of which need new members and will be showcasing what they are about during Freshers' Week.  We'd love you to get involved.

University should be one of the most amazing experiences of your life, but we understand that from time to time, things don't always go as smoothly as planned - that's where our Support Team comes in. 

Our Advice Service offers free, confidential support on a range of subjects - from academic, housing and personal issues. They are based in the Percy Gee Students' Union Building and offer a range of ways to get in touch. 

We also work with a number of external support services, making it easier for you to get the support you need. These include a sexual health clinic, therapy dog, drug and alcohol advice and victim support.

There are a number of ways to make your voice heard here at the SU. Find out more about Course Reps, Executive Elections and our Student Idea system here. You can also take a look at the campaigns your Executive Officers have run - if you are interested in being involved in a campaign please email your Exec Team.
