Nottingham

At its core, a Student Union (SU) is a representative and supportive body. We’re here to bring you an enhanced university experience, make sure your voice is heard, and support you in getting more involved. Making life better for students at Bucks.  Whether it’s running events, supporting your wellbeing, helping with academic issues, or campaigning for change…  BNU is the only university in the UK to offer FREE access to a huge range of activities and opportunities to enrich your time with us. Thanks to The Big Deal!  
 

At Nottingham, your Students’ Union office is based on the Ground floor near the library and is your go-to space for support, activities, and opportunities to get involved. We’re typically on-site from Monday- Sunday 9am-5pm except Friday but please keep an eye on our noticeboards and social media channels for any latest updates.

We run recreational trips, additional skills sessions, recreational sport, volunteering opportunities, and a range of societies, including ones relevant to students at Nottingham. Whether you're here for business, digital marketing, or accounting -related courses, there’s something for you. Zey oversees activities on our Nottingham campus, organising recreational events and skills development sessions that help our students make the most of their university life and enhance employability. They work closely with students and the Training & Development team to deliver and create engaging opportunities. Just head to our SU Team on campus or email  Zeynep.Saner@bnu.ac.uk for more information. 

We also run the Student Rep Scheme, giving you the chance to make a positive impact on your course and your campus and to be recognised for the work you do. From raising feedback to helping shape the student experience, it’s a rewarding way to get involved and earn up to £100 payment! Chandrika oversees Representation at Nottingham, supporting and training student reps to ensure they feel heard, supported, and empowered. She coordinates the Student Rep Scheme, supports the Advice Centre, and delivers wellbeing initiatives and campaigns, working with Elected Officers to enhance the student experience and ensure effective representation across the Union’s services. Just head to our SU Team on campus or email Chandrika.Dutta@bnu.ac.uk for more information.  

We also have Bethany our Vice President Education and Welfare Officer who focuses on the educational and wellbeing experiences of our members whilst studying at BNU. She is mainly based at the Uxbridge and Aylesbury Campuses, but her work encompasses representing the voice of the students, across the Aylesbury, Nottingham, Oxford, and Uxbridge campuses, and making sure these are represented on a larger scale. She is also a part of the Representation team and works with the Advice Centre too to run campaigns across campuses which aim to boost positive mental health and ensure that your voices are heard. You can reach her at any time by sending an email to su.vpew@bnu.ac.uk.  

Lastly, we have an independent and confidential Advice Centre, offering support across all campuses. At Nottingham, our Representation & Welfare Coordinator is here to help you access advice with trained advisors through online appointments. The Advice Centre provides support and guidance on a wide range of issues such as financial hardship, accommodation and course based issues. They can support with course related areas such as: academic misconduct allegations, extension request advice and Mitigiating Circumstance applications.

If they can’t help directly, they’ll always make sure you’re signposted to the right place. Appointments can be held over the phone or via Microsoft Teams, whatever works best for you. You can reach our team Monday - Friday by sending an email suadvice@bnu.ac.uk or calling 01494603016.
