Manchester Metropolitan University Students' Union
We are an independent charity that exists to represent the needs and views of all 37,000 students at MMU.
There has been a Students’ Union for what we now call Manchester Metropolitan University since the 1920s.
Over the last one hundred years, the role of The Union and the part it plays in student education and wellbeing has grown and developed into the organisation we are today.
Students are at the heart of what we do.
Every year, students elect a team of Student Officers to lead The Union and represent their needs.
The Officer team works closely with our staff team to provide a wide range of services, activities and opportunities to offer the best possible student experience. We’re on hand at both the Manchester and Cheshire campuses.
We provide opportunities for the expression of student opinion and actively represent the interests of Students;
We act as a channel of communication in dealing with The Manchester Metropolitan University and other external bodies;
We promote the welfare of Students at The Manchester Metropolitan University;
We facilitate the social, recreational, political and educational interests of students, through providing services and support for its Members. Particularly we offer Volunteering and projects and brokerage as well as student groups' support.
We work with other students’ unions and affiliated bodies.
