About Your Students' Union

We represent your student journey! As a registered charity, we operate independently from the University, and you can find us on the ground floor of the Ambika Paul building.

Our organisation is student-led and supported by volunteers and staff. Our primary goal is to enhance your University experience, making it enriching, satisfying, and unforgettable.

Upon enrolling at the University of Wolverhampton, you automatically become a member of the Students' Union. This grants you access to a wide range of services and opportunities, including complimentary sports and societies, welfare assistance, guidance and support, as well as representation.

The sabbatical team is made up of four roles including the President and three Vice-Presidents who are chosen by students in the annual elections, each officer is responsible for different areas within the Students' Union. As your elected representatives, the officers speak up for you and all students at the University of Wolverhampton. Make sure you tell them what's important to you so they can address your needs and concerns!
