Worcester Students’ Union is a democratic organisation, which helps to ensure that the Union works for YOU, our members.

This means that each year, the leadership of the SU (your Executive Officer Team) is determined by the student body through cross-campus elections. The University of Worcester has approximately 9,000 students and elected officers have responsibility for representing the interests of all these students.
