The Best Students' Union in the UK (seven years in a row)
Our SU is central to our student experience. Home to over 350 student-led societies, it offers first rate entertainment and is dedicated to representing and supporting Sheffield students.
“Thank you so much to all of our students who chose to get involved and review us. As a Students’ Union, we strive to ensure that our students feel represented, empowered, and have the best possible time at University. Every year we provide thousands of opportunities for students to positively shape their future and have fun.
