About Us
We are your Students’ Union, here for all students at the University of York. Whilst we work closely with the University on many projects, we are a separate, charitable organisation. We are not-for-profit, and are run by elected representatives.
Our core mission at ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± is to:
- Represent you
- Support you
…and to give you the best experience as a student in York!
If you are studying at the University, you are automatically a part of ¸Û²Ê¿ª½±, but you can opt-out at any time.
What ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± can do for you:
Opportunities
Our dynamic team go above and beyond to ensure that you can join societies, clubs and groups that suit your interests!
At ¸Û²Ê¿ª½±, we offer...
- Over 200+ societies;
- 65+ sports clubs;
- 150+ per year;
- and a selection of RAG and volunteering groups!
Advice
If you need any support or advice during your time at York, we've got you covered. ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± has a welcoming Advice and Support Centre, who are there to give you free, independent advice. If you need any extra help, we can signpost you to appropriate services that work best for you.
Representation
¸Û²Ê¿ª½± strives to represent all students, determined to make University an immersive, collaborative and inclusive environment.
We have three teams, elected by students, who work hard to make this a reality:
- Sabbatical Officers: (Sabbs)
- Part-Time Officers: (PTOs)
- Academic Reps
What's more, we also offer a selection of campaigns, projects and networks for you to join, so that you can help to make a difference.

Some of the events which you could attend include:
- Freshers' Festival;
- Love York Awards;
- Roses (Europe's largest varsity!);
- and our annual Summer Ball!
