Your student lifestyle
Your Students ’ Union
The Students ’ Union ( SU ) at QMU has lots to offer . Getting involved with the SU can really enhance your academic and social experience as a student and help you in your future career .
Student voice
The SU is run independently of the University and is run by students for students . Students elect a team of officers every year to work on their behalf to improve the overall student experience at QMU . The officer team represents all students at QMU and always want to hear from students about what ’ s working and what isn ’ t .
The SU works with the University to run the Class Rep programme . Each class should have at least one Class Rep to represent the students ’ views and liaise with academic staff . The SU provides support and training for Class Reps and runs the Academic Council that is a forum where Class Reps come together .
Activities
The SU offers a range of sports teams and societies for all students to become involved with . There are competitive and recreational sports teams and clubs , interest-based societies and academic societies . An up-to-date list can be found on the SU website and if we do not have what you ’ re interested in we can help you to set something up . Check out pages 48 — 49 for more information .
Help Zone
The Help Zone provides support for QMU students , particularly with academic issues . All advice and support is free , confidential and impartial . The team at the SU has a lot of experience in student support and has good relationships with support staff in the University .
