ARU Students’ Union is run for students, by students. When you start at ARU you automatically become a member of the Students' Union alongside 18,000+ others students.
We're independent from the University which means that YOU get to decide how we're run and what we do. By voting in the elections, getting your voice heard through Student Council or participating in campaigns you will help to transform ideas into positive change and shape your Students’ Union and university. Let's create success together.
