The Students’ Union is run by students, for
students! We are here to look after your
needs by representing you, organising
events and activities, running clubs and
societies and offering support.

need as a student is an NUS Extra Card! For
just £12 you can get hundreds of discounts

BPCSU Volunteering
Throughout the year there are loads of
volunteering opportunities from the SU for
you to get involved in. From workshops,
conservation work and much more, join us
during Student volunteering Week and our
Community and Social Action days.
Students Union Activities
Don’t forget that The Students’
Union organise loads of
activities over the year. Check
out the dates for these on the
calendar and at
www.studentfirst.org.uk
If there is any activity you want
to do that is not being arranged
by The College talk to the
Students’ Union and they’ll do
what they can to make it
happen.
Social Spaces
Students have access to common rooms
where you can chill out and relax. They
each have loads of great facilities! These are
located at Lansdowne and North Road sites.
Entertainment
The SU arrange tons of events and trips
each year at great, subsidised prices. When
we are not going to places like Thorpe Park,
we’ll be arranging on site events that are
completely free. With an even bigger
discount for NUS Extra Card holders.
Representation
The SU is affiliated to The National Union of
Students (NUS), which represents students
nationally and lobbies Parliament on
student affairs.
