A Network is a collective of students that represent a particular group of students, liberation group or interests. Networks meet separately to Student Council to discuss Student Ideas and policies relevant to their area, and work together to create change within the Union, local and wider communities by running campaigns. Networks meet monthly during term time.
To be part of a Network that represents a specific group of students, (such as a Liberation Group, student type or belief), you need to identify as part of that group. For other networks that represent a particular interest, all you need is a passion for that area.
There are 7 Networks in total, and once in place the list of reps will appear below. To sign up to a Network for updates, or to volunteer as a rep for 2023/4, fill in our short form here.
