When people hear the phrase Students’ Union or SU, what springs to mind for many is a bar and cheap pints. While we do have an award-winning venue, social space and bar to unwind in after a day of lectures, what we are and what we can offer you go so much further than those four walls. Most importantly, we are a student-led organisation – we are a union of students. As a member, your SU belongs to you, and every year you vote for four University of Plymouth students to become full-time Sabbatical Officers.
