The Students' Union The Students' Union is the focus of many student activities at Sussex. It organises entertainment and social events, and runs shops and bars on campus. It also provides welfare advice and represents its members on University committees, to the public and in wider campaigns.
Membership is free and automatic.
The Union stages a varied programme of music and comedy gigs for students, with events taking place both on and off campus. There are also quizzes and jam sessions organised, as well as special events such as the Summer Ball, where you can dress up and indulge in a three-course meal accompanied by bands and top DJs. Run entirely by students, these range from sports and social clubs through to performing arts and special interest organisations. Societies are affiliated to the Union's Arts, Music, Social Action, Clubs and Societies, and Sports Federations. The Union encourages home grown talent and the Union Activities Centre is a point of call for students who want information, support or training.
