Be a part of the Natural Sciences community

You are at the heart of what we do. We have an active course community that runs on student participation.

Students’ Union

The Students’ Union (SU) are an independent, student-led organisation that serves as your advocate, protects your rights and, ensures your opinion is heard when it comes to significant decisions that impact you. As a University of Nottingham student, you’re already a valued and celebrated member of the SU.  

From its home in the Portland Building, the SU works hard to make sure your university experience is the best it can be, from the day you arrive to the day you graduate. They’re here to make sure that you can experience a huge range of social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities, make changes by standing up for what you believe in, and find support when you need a helping hand.

Their primary reception area, located in the Welcome Zone of the Portland Building, operates from 9am-5pm. Feel free to drop by and say hello, as well as learn more about the various ways the SU can support you.

Get involved, represent you peers and make your voice heard.

Natural Sciences Student Feedback Forum

The Student Feedback Forum allows students to directly participate in how their course is run and how it develops over time by making suggestions for change and working with staff to create solutions to issues. The forum is chaired by our Senior Course Rep and is attended by course reps, the society president, peer mentor lead, subject advisors for the core subjects and course staff.

Become a course rep

Course reps are a vital part of the student voice. Through gathering feedback from your peers, attending meetings and campaigning for positive change, you can make a real difference to the academic experience of those on your course.

If you want to make a positive difference and represent your peers, then this could be a great role for you.
