You can also book an appointment with a careers adviser or coach for that one to one input and support.

  • Are you enjoying student life at UON?

    Your Students’ Union is here for you when you want your voice to be heard. If you feel that your course isn’t quite living up to your expectations or if you feel that your education is so great that you need to tell others about it, make sure to contact one of your Student Advocates and let them know. You can also contact your executive officer team to share your views. They will ensure that they listen to you, whether through social media, surveys or in person, and that your concerns and ideas for improvement are addressed throughout the year.
