The Students’ Union is run by students for students – that means we’re completely dedicated to representing students at Staffs and helping provide what they want from their student experience. That covers everything from advice and support, great venues and events to representation, sports clubs, activities and even a dedicated student media service.
We’re constantly striving to ensure the best possible experience for all students at Staffs and free membership of the Students’ Union is automatic on enrolling at Staffordshire University. That means our students get to have their say in what we do and how we do it.
Staffordshire University Students’ Union is a democratic organisation, working entirely for the benefit of students.
The Students' Union sponsors and supports a diverse range of student-run groups. These include both competitive and recreational sports groups, special interest groups, academic societies and some that we are unable to categorise!

WHY BE A STAR?
Fri 25 Nov 2011
STudent Academic Representation “STARs” are here to ensure the student voice is heard. They are the vital link between the students, the University and the Students’ Union.
STARs listen to the students on their course; collecting their views and opinions, and attend meetings to discuss the views of the students to relevant academic staff, to achieve a positive outcome. The University relies upon student feedback to provide the best service and facilities for current and future students.
