University is all about finding other people like you. The SU can help you do this through in-person meet-ups and online communities. If you want to see a new collective included in our regular schedule, please send us your community suggestions.
Collectives exist to allow you to share your experiences with like-minded individuals, work on submitting Make-A-Change proposals and building your confidence to attend our Student Forum meetings. We want to empower you to enact positive change and give you the tools you need to do so.
Our collectives have a programme of events to help you meet new people, learn new skills and engage with Union democracy.
Collectives
You can attend any of our events if you identify with the community the collective represents or you are an ally to those groups. We currently have collectives for a range of student groups, including:
- Mature & Postgraduate Students' Collective
- Online Students' Collective
- POC Collective
- Neurodivergent & Disabled Student' Collective
- LGBTQ+ Students' Collective
- Trans Students' Collective
- International Students' Collective
- Women Students' Collective
Don't see a collective that meets your needs? We're open to new ideas as we develop our collectives so please get in touch if you would benefit from a space to make change happen!
To join a collective, you can attend one of their meet ups and stay up-to-date by joining the dedicated WhatsApp group
