There's no other student support package quite like The Big Deal.


Our students enjoyed 1,847 free events last year
But don't just take our word for it, see what some of our students have to say in the video below.
Free entertainment and events
Mixing with new people and sharing new experiences is important. Through the Big Deal our gigs, club nights, comedy, cultural nights, theme parties and events are totally free for all students.
No other university supports their students' social activities quite like we do.
Free competitive student sports
The Students' Union provides you with the opportunity to play sport against other universities in a variety of national leagues both in team and individual sport.
It's not all competitive, you will also have plenty of chances to play on a friendly basis.
Free recreational activities
We offer a wide range of activities, giving you the chance to continue doing what you enjoyed back home and also try new and exciting things.
Paid student representatives
Students reps are elected by their classmates to represent them by giving feedback in university meetings and in more informal settings. Student reps enhance the quality of our courses and help to affect a positive change.
Plus becoming a student rep can be a huge boost to your CV, lead to more involvement with the SU and introduce you to a whole new group of friends.
