As UUSU holds dual status as both a charity and a membership organisation, our governance structures need to reflect this. We therefore have a Trustee Board who ensures our legal, financial and strategic affairs are in order, and a Student Council which ensures that our members are at the heart of campaigning priorities. Both entities endorse the vision and commitment of UUSU which is to represent, support and connect our student community through providing a first class experience through our engagement with the membership. In order to meet this vision UUSU has a series of aspirations which are:
- To represent the student body effectively both in the University and with external stakeholders.
- To have services and offerings that support the student community.
- To connect students to make lifelong friendships whilst at University.
- To listen and engage effectively with the student body to ensure our offer is relevant.
- To provide a first-class student experience across everything we do.
