Our Purpose
The Students’ Union (NWRCSU) is YOUR Union, here to make your time at college count.
We help you feel part of the student community, stand up for what you believe in, speak out on the issues that matter most, and take steps towards a bright future.
Working alongside staff, students help shape and improve college life, supported by a dedicated Student Services team member focused on Union development and activities. Student Unions are powerful, but change only happens when students get involved - whether it’s completing a survey, voting in elections, or standing as a Student Representative. Together, we 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!
