How it all works...
- Student Union Officers - We elect Officers to the SU Council. Get involved in this if you want to stand out on a University application or on your CV.
- Organise Student Activities - The Officers work with Danny Lyttle, the NWRC Student Liaison & Events Officer, to coordinate all the year’s activities. This includes organising Clubs & Societies, Campaigns, Sports Teams, Training, International Projects, and Travel.
- Class Reps - Recruit, train and collaborate with Class Reps.
- Work & Travel Abroad - Work with, and travel to partners worldwide. We are one of few Students' Unions to offer this opportunity!
Innovation and Travel
We are one of the only Students’ Unions to manage and develop specialised training and mobility worldwide for free. Yes, you read that correctly - this is 100% FREE for students!
- DENMARK – we work with a partner school in Korsor, to send students to live and work. We’ve been doing this successfully for nearly 30 years!
- SPAIN – we take students to Barcelona and teach them how to develop their entrepreneurial transnational skills. 2 weeks each year learning how to make you stand out from the crowd and add a little extra value.
- THE NETHERLANDS – a special project to send Officers and Class Reps to Alkmaar to learn how to train other students and staff. We are the only SU to offer this project – we know because we wrote the content with our Dutch friend Guus Wink from WinkMoveMaker.
We are also planning a new project with countries such as Kosovo.
