Bristol SU is the world’s only charity focused solely on making the lives of University of Bristol students the best they can be.  

We are a Union for all students, here to make sure every one of you has a great time in our incredible city, no matter who you are, or what you like.  We take the lead on extra-curricular activity at Bristol – the FUN stuff that you can do alongside your course.

We’re the home of student groups, volunteering, intramural sport, academic advice, campaigns, lettings, student democracy, representation and events.

Bristol SU is a membership organisation democratically led by students, supported by a staff team who run the day-to-day activities and services provided by the organisation.

We’re not-for-profit, which means any money we do make during the year goes straight back into improving your student experience.

We have over 30,000 members, 350 student groups, a huge range of professional services, and a bold strategy.

Led by our seven Full-time Officers, we are central to the Bristol university experience. We have and support over 900 student representatives who are here to represent your academic interests and make sure you’re getting the most from your education.

All our work is based on our five values: Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, Sustainability, Wellbeing, Community, and Fun.
