Our Purpose
The Students' Union (NWRCSU) is YOUR
Students’ Union. NWRCSU is here to make sure
your time at college counts. Ensuring you feel
part of the student community, supporting you
to stand up for what you believe in, to speak
out about the issues that matter the most to
you, and helping you move forward into a bright
future.
Students work in collaboration with staff to
improve student life at the college. The Union is
supported by a staff member from the Student
Services team who has dedicated time to
support Union development and activities.
Student Unions are powerful organisations, but only have the ability to make changes if
they have students who engage with them - so make sure you get involved. Whether
that's completing a survey, voting in the
elections or standing to be one of the Student
Representatives. Together students can achieve
more.
Here at NWRCSU, we strive to embody our values of fun, supportiveness, positivity, innovation and inclusivity. I want to make sure all of our students get the very best out of their college experience and feel supported. So please come and say hello anytime, no appointment needed!

How do I join the Students' Union?
You automatically become a member of NWRCSU when you accept your place on your course, so you’re already part of something bigger before you even get here. There are no forms to fill out, no money to pay in advance and no membership card required.
Students' Union Council
What difference will you make?
We elect Student Officers to the NWRCSU Council. Each year, a team of students are democratically elected to lead NWRCSU, they make sure that our students are heard and have what they need to learn and thrive whilst at college. Our Student Officers work to tackle all issues to do with student life - from national campaigns, to student welfare, as well as making sure the Students' Union offers what you want it to!
The Students’ Union council is here to:
-
Promote the general welfare of all students
-
Encourage student societies, sports clubs and social activities
-
Act as a channel of communication between students and the College
-
Promote the interests of all students and to represent them in all matters affecting their interests
-
Enhance the standing of students in the local community
Anyone can run for election, become part of the Student Council and help provide a “voice” for students!

Students from across all five campuses are encouraged to get involved with the Union body to organise events, support campaigns, trips and fund-raisers. It is an incredibly important team and we want you to get on board!
