Description
Want the chance to win cash in exchange for shaping a more student-led Students' Union? Come to our Democracy and Governance pop ups.
At The Students' Union at UWE, we’re always working to make student life better and that starts with you.
We want to know how you feel about shaping your university and SU experience. Whether you're passionate about decision making or just curious about how things work behind the scenes, this is your chance to tell us what matters to you.
These events are pop ups for students to come along and meet our Welcome Reps, ask any questions about democracy and governance and to fill out the survey in exchange for the chance to win up to £200*. If you can't make it, check out The Students' Union or find us on Instagram for a chance to get involved.
Why your input matters
- Your student number helps us understand your unique context (like your course or campus).
- We’ll use your feedback to propose new ways for students to get involved and make decisions.
- This is just the beginning: there’ll be more chances to shape what comes next!
This survey is the first step in building a more inclusive, representative and student-led Students' Union. Your answers will help us design structures that actually work for UWE Bristol students across all campuses, courses, and communities.
Take the survey and help us build a Union that reflects you. Deadline 19 October 2025.
*One prize of £200, one prize of £100 and two prizes of £50 to be won.
