Student Forum

About the event

Got something to say about your uni experience? Forum is your open space to show up, speak up, and make real decisions that matter. Any student can attend, join the discussion, and vote on proposals that shape what your Students’ Union works on next. Whether you bring an idea, back a cause, or just want to see how change happens – you’re part of the conversation. Free pizza, friendly faces, and your chance to influence the future.
