Decide the future of your Students' Union - fill out our Big Change Survey! We are currently undertaking our biggest-ever research project to find out more about the students the Union represents and what you want. Help us set our future direction and you could win one of our fantastic prizes to say thank you for your time, including £500 cash.

By finding out a bit more about you via our Big Change Survey, we can make sure the Union and University shape our future around what you want and need. It’s all about you: what you want to see, experience and develop at QMUL. 

You said, we did

Your feedback is very important to us, and some of the campaigns we’ve made happen as a result of what you’ve said in the past include:

  • Extending Mile End Library hours over the examination period to help you study
  •  3 mental health inspired art installations designed by students to be in place by 2017
  • More study spaces implemented across campus that stay open until late
  • A ‘Be Kind To Your Mind’ campaign about mental well-being to help you with stress relief
  • A pop-up exhibition celebrating sporting success, recognising students’ great achievements
  • A working group set-up with the University to improve the quality of course feedback

Improving our services

Feedback has also meant we can improve our services to you, such as providing:

  • 70 alcohol-free activities: free workshops ranging from graffiti art and biscuit-decorating to learning Mandarin
  • Our first ever Freshers’ Ball, which over 1,000 of you attended
  • More employability opportunities including 4 Union internships
  •  18 training sessions with the QM Skills Award and individual advice sessions for students applying to QMSU roles
  • A Student Media Internships Fair to get students’ foot in the door in the competive media industry
  • A microwave in the Students’ Union Hub so you can heat up lunches from home

Big changes, big prizes

We know that as students your time is precious, so to say thank you for being involved in our research project we have some huge prizes up for grabs. These include:

  • £500 in cash
  • Beats Headphones                         
  • XBOX One or PS4
  • 1 x £100 Love 2 Shop voucher    
  • Cheese & wine tasting for 2      
  • Pamper day for 2 worth  
  • London Bungee Jump worth 

We’ll also have some random spot prizes that can be won throughout, including £25 instant wins, so make sure you let us know your views via our Big Change Survey by Friday 2 December.
