We are physically located at Exton Park- but by being a student at the University of Chester, you are automatically a member of the Students’ Union, so you can get access to our services regardless of what centre you study at.
So, you may be thinking to yourself, what does a Students’ Union actually do? Well, we exist for the sole purpose of helping students love their student life. We do this in a number of ways, through various services:
- Voice – represent your views on student experience
- Opportunities – join a society and run events!
- Democracy – become one of our officers
- Advice – seek free and independent advice
