Being at university is not just about getting a degree. It’s also about the opportunities alongside your degree to explore interests and develop yourself.
It can be about pushing outside your comfort zone or proving to yourself that you can do something. You may want to make a difference in a community or make your mark. Or you may want to dedicate time to an interest or a cause that intrigues or inspires you.
Many find these fulfilling experiences through Bristol Students’ Union (SU), by:
- participating in, running or starting a new or existing club, society, network or volunteering project
- volunteering for student voice roles.
As well as making university memorable, SU experiences can enhance your employability.
Employers frequently state the value they place on extracurricular experiences.
The SU celebrates students’ achievements each year in the SU Awards.
Being nominated and achieving one of these coveted awards can help you stand out to employers.
So how can you make the most of this?
