Uea Students' Union

We are uea(su): the heart of student life at UEA. We’re about students - transforming. We are students learning and developing through varied and exciting opportunities. We are a Union, run by students, and we change every year as students change. If you’re starting a degree or postgraduate course here, you’ll officially be a new member of uea(su). The Union is run by Student Officers, who are democratically elected by a cross campus ballot of all UEA students each year. Student Officers are guided by the policies that students make through referendums and through a representative body called Union Council: https://www.uea.su/democracy/unioncouncil/councilinfo/whatcouncildoes/ In addition to representation, The Union provides professional support and advice on academic, welfare and housing issues to individual students, as well as running our own housing bureau, Home Run. The Union also provides the majority of extracurricular activity on campus. We run and support over 200 sports clubs and student societies. Our commercial services, which are aimed at students, but open to anyone, include bars and 2 entertainment venues. uea(su) and its services have a combined annual turnover of around £10 million. Although much of our operations are seasonal, based around the 30 weeks a year of undergraduate teaching at the University, the Student Officers and career staff are employed all year round.
