Students’ Union | www.essexstudent.com Students’ Union We are here to make your experience at Essex the best it could be; our SU is run for students, by students, and as a member you’ll be given a full say in everything we do. The Students’ Union (SU) mission The SU aims to support and enhance the educational, social, cultural and recreational activities and opportunities of the student body. We offer an incredible number of services, from academic support and representation to entertainments, from a security minibus service to student media. 44 | Postgraduate Prospectus 2012
www.essexstudent.com | Students’ Union Membership, representation and participation All registered students are automatically members of the SU. We run as a fully democratic organisation, with over 100 student representatives on various committees, headed by an elected Student Executive of twelve. There are cross-campus elections with hundreds of positions you can stand for, including Postgraduate Officer. Societies As postgraduates make up a significant proportion of our student population, our Postgraduate Students’ Assembly (PGSA) is here to support you but the SU also has more than 165 other clubs and societies covering cultural, religious, political and academic interests. For a full list, please see: www.essexstudent.com. Entertainment We organise a packed programme of events, most of which take place in Sub Zero, recently named ‘Best Student Venue in the UK’. Recent acts include Pendulum, Calvin Harris, Florence and the Machine, Zane Lowe, Chase and Status, Paul Oakenfold, Chris Moyles, Faithless and Trevor Nelson. The highlight of the year is our SU Summer Ball at our Colchester Campus. This is an all night black tie extravaganza attended by 3,000 students and featuring live acts, fairground rides, bars and fireworks. Facilities at our Colchester Campus Our Campus Shop is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day, and offers produce from fresh groceries and newspapers to ready meals and snacks. The Bakery sells food to take away, while Go Go Global specialises in international food and drink. Our Colchester Campus has venues to suit every taste which include the SU Bar, with comfy sofas and big screens, Mondo, offering Italian dishes, and Top Bar, with pool tables and live music. For those who like to dance, Sub Zero, our £1.2 million nightclub, is the place to go. Facilities at our Southend Campus The Union provides a dedicated social space, so is a great place to grab a drink, watch films or Sky TV on big screens, or have a game of pool. Our staff provide support and access to all services and activities, including advice, representation, entertainment, and clubs and societies. Student activities We employ around 50 full-time members of staff and over 380 part-time student staff. We also have our vTeam, who co-ordinate voluntary projects in the community and get you involved. Some projects have received national recognition and all are a great way to meet people, improve your CV and make a difference! Essex media The Rabbit is our student newspaper, published fortnightly during term. It is a fantastic opportunity for you to get experience and get your work into print. RED is our own radio station, while SX:TV is our award-winning TV channel. Both are always looking for new students to get involved, and you do not need experience as training is provided. Welfare services Student life is full of ups and downs, so we have a free, impartial Advice Centre to help with any problems. We also run a security minibus service to transport you to and from our Colchester Campus in the evening. Postgraduate Prospectus 2012 | 45
