We're here to help you love your time at Newcastle College!

Students' Union

Newcastle College Students' Union (SU) is ran by students just like you, elected by you, to represent you and all of the students across the College.

As well as raising awareness of important issues on behalf of students, the SU runs a range of initiatives and events, from Fresher's Week to year-round activities and clubs to end-of-year awards nights.

Why You Should Get Involved

Joining the Students' Union (SU) is a great way for you to meet new people, stay connected to the College community and have fun! Our SU Office in the Library on Rye Hill campus is a safe and inclusive space, where you'll be warmly welcomed and fairly represented, no matter your race, religion, ethnic origin, sexuality, age, gender of disability status.

Most importantly, the SU Team is here for you. Whether you need academic advice, pastoral support or just want a friendly chat about an issue you're having, the SU is a great place to start. The SU Officers can offer advice on a range of issues, including drugs and alcohol, mental health, bullying and abuse, or they can signpost you to the right people with any beyond the College for your needs. Keep an eye out around campus for the latest news and events involving the SU!
