Students’ Union

Upon enrolment, every student at The Sheffield College automatically becomes a part of the Students’ Union, which is led by a team of democratically elected students who meet regularly to discuss the college and then feed back to the college executive team, managers, and staff.

The aim of the Students’ Union is to provide the best quality education and experience for all students and the local community, all whilst hosting events and building awareness of important issues. To be involved in the Students’ Union, you could become a Students’ Union Officer, take part in clubs, societies, and campaigns, contribute to the Student Newsletter, or simply provide Student Voice feedback. You’ll have your opinions listened to, and have the opportunity to create change both at college and within the wider community.
