Season's Greetings from your UUSU student officers

Season's Greetings from your UUSU student officers! UUSU Offices will close at 4pm on 23rd December 2025, and reopen Monday 5th January 2026.

U Belong Campaign Bursary

We're offering the opportunity for student groups including societies, clubs, networks & course groups to apply for a campaign bursary. We've got £1000 in the pot, however £500 is the max that can be awarded to any group. The campaign’s purpose & rationale should be focused on improving or supporting the mental health & wellbeing of a student group or more generically.

Are you ready to Lead The Change?

Every year, Ulster students are elected into leadership roles that shape campus life, improve the student experience & influence decisions at every level of the University. Whether you want to represent your community, improve something you care about, or build skills and confidence - there’s a role for you. Nominations open 26.1.26 - Find out more!

Got an Idea? Have your say!

At the Students' Union core is Student Council – it’s the boss! This is the group of elected students that decides on what stance the Union takes on important issues. Want student council to vote on your idea? Then get in contact with us!
