WELCOME TO ABERYSTWYTH STUDENTS’ UNION
Led by students and supported by a team of staff, Aberystwyth Students’ Union wants Aber students to love student life and be ready for anything. We strive to ensure that Aber students have an epic student journey, are happy, healthy and empowered, with lasting friendships and promising futures. All students at Aberystwyth University are automatically a member of AberSU.
We provide students with a range of benefits and opportunities to get involved in, including:
- Helping students to meet new people, make friends and build communities
- Supporting and developing student Sport Clubs and Societies
- Supporting, training and working with Academic Reps to have a positive impact for students at course level
- Free, impartial, friendly and confidential advice
- A representative voice for all Aberystwyth University students
- Opportunities for students to campaign on the issues they care about
- Spaces to study, meet and socialise
We are a democratic, charitable organisation and have a responsibility to act ethically and responsibly in all that we do, contributing to the wider community and limiting our impact on the environment.
We hope that you will enjoy working as part of our sharing and supportive team and that you grow and develop existing and new skills and abilities along the way.
