Make the most of your time
Spanning both the Cathays and Heath Park campuses, the purpose-built SU building operates 24-hours a day and houses cafes, shops, bars, music venues, a letting agency and study spaces for students to make the most of their time at university. All profits from our commercial activity go to support bigger and better services and activities for our students.
Building student communities
Across 200 societies, 65 sports teams and a range of volunteering opportunities, the SU helps student groups be a force for good on campus and in the local community.
Amplifying student voices
As an independent, student-led partner of the university, the SU works with students in all aspects of academic life, giving them what they need to shape their education and providing advice should things go wrong.
Enriching student experiences
Striving to deliver exceptional events and services based on what students want from their time at university. From club nights and crazy golfing, to trips to local hotspots and events targeted at boosting wellbeing – all profits from CSU activities go into funding the charitable services of the organisation.
Boosting wellbeing and future opportunities
By empowering students to look after their own and each other’s wellbeing, supporting them to gain the skills, knowledge, and resilience they need to find their place in the world. From helping students find part-time work through the Jobshop service, to providing free, independent, and confidential advice.
