BCUSU is here for YOU!
Today we wanted to take the opportunity to remind you about a key BCU service and community you all have access to, no matter what course you’re studying or faculty you’re in – every student is a part of the Birmingham City University Students Union.
The BCUSU is a registered charity, it’s independent from the university and is run by five elected officers – a President and four Vice Presidents, supported by both staff and students.
In essence, BCUSU is here for all students and will help you in your university journey – check out the website to discover what the union can do for you throughout your time at BCU: https://www.bcusu.com
