The University of Salford Students’ Union (USSU) is the independent representative body of students at the University, committed to enhancing students’ lives. Our commitment to each and every student is to:
- Create a strong Union presence on the issues and affairs that matter to our students.
- Develop our organisational structure to ensure that we can make an outstanding contribution to our members’ lives.
- Forge a dynamic partnership with the University that enhances the Salford experience.
- Create an involvement culture where innovative, life changing opportunities are available to our members.
USSU is a student-led, student-focussed organisation with the principles of representation, democracy and informed campaigning at its very heart. Every student at Salford is automatically a member of the Students' Union.
The Union is responsible for most things at the University not related to academia or residence, so if you ever become a member of a society, take part in an organised sport, use the Leisure Centre, have a drink, get advice, buy a bar of chocolate, or take part in some aspect of Welcome Week, you are having an experience the Union has a part in organising, financing, or managing.
The Union operates out of University House on the Peel Park campus. Most of our services and activities operate out of this building. We aim to offer something for every student regardless of their background, course or interests. We aim to continually develop and expand the opportunities for students to be involved in the Union, and we are committed to listening to student opinion and reflecting it in our work. No matter how you use the Union whilst at Salford, you will be involved in its success.
