Union of Students represents the views of all students and gives lots of opportunities to get involved: by joining some of the large number of sports clubs and societies; working with representation officer and president on various campaigns: working on one of the media outlets (Spaghetti Junction, the monthly union magazine, SCRatch radio or website www.uceunion.com); or you could work at one of the many bars or shops. You could also join the student council where important democratic decisions are made.
UCE has 6 bars, including recently refurbished Bar 42 and new Moor Lane venue - which also contains new sports complex including 9 football and rugby pitches and facilities for hockey and other sports.
Fantastic range of courses, from law and english to more vocational subjects like graphic design and TV production; most are modular with assessments, often based in coursework and examinations.
