About us
Brighton Students’ Union is a charity separate from the university.
We exist to make student lives better for all Brighton University students better. We are student-focused and student-led. University life is more than lectures, long library sessions, and assessments; we are here to provide a well-rounded, supportive community for all our students.
Over the last 1o3 years, we have been at the heart of campus and student life. A democratic-run organisation, we want all our students to succeed, unite, and thrive. Whether building community through activities, societies, and events, ensuring the university hears and responds to students’ needs, or providing mental health, well-being, and financial support, we are your home away from home.

We represent students with the community, locally and nationally, campaigning for their needs and wants.
We run over 100 societies, including social, academic, and other, creating a safe space and community for all students. Find out more about our societies.
