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! You can find out contact details and any info the groups have posted by following the links below.

Money makes the world go round” sang Liza Minelli and R Kelly. This is obviously not true scientifically but these songs are making the point that money makes it possible to do many things: from the mundane paying of rent and bills to going on holiday, giving to a worthy cause and achieving our dreams. It’s a part of our everyday lives. Money if we use it well can be a force for achieving what we want. Mishandled, it can be the source of much misery and stress
Money Doctors is a service based in the Students’ Union Student Advice Centre. It is free, independent, impartial and confidential. We can help you to keep your finances healthy and make your money achieve what you want it to by:
