As a student at Queen Mary you’re automatically a member of the Students’ Union. Your membership to the Union is free and it brings with it lots of opportunities for you to get the most out of your time at Queen Mary.
The Students’ Union is here to make your life at Queen Mary the best it can possibly be. We do this by making sure your voice is heard and giving you the opportunity to make the most of your time inside and outside your studies. We run the Drapers & Griffinn Bars, evening entertainments, the gym (Qmotion) and a host of other commercial activities. We also run all the sports club, societies, volunteering, student representatives programme, campaigning and an academic advice service on campus.
To make sure we stay true to needs of the students we’re run by a team of student officers, who you get to elect each year. Five of these students work full-time (they are known as Sabbatical Officers) and others are still studying.
The Students’ Union, as mentioned, does run bars, shops, the gym, coffee houses and evening entertainment. All the money that is made goes straight back into services and facilities for students.
If you can see ways that we can grow or do things better then all you need to do is tell us, either in person or through the website. That way we can make sure that the Union continues to reflect what you want it to be.
