Here at York College & University Centre, we believe it’s important to ensure our students have a voice and are listened to and heard.
Our Student Union ensures the student body and the College work collaboratively together to increase student wellbeing and satisfaction, embracing student advocacy to implement positive change.
The Student Union is made up of the following:
Student Union President
Student Union Vice President
Student Union Officers
Student Union Representatives
Student Union Members
The President, Vice President and Officer roles are elected by the Student Union membership, ensuring the Union is a group run by the students, for the students.
