Active Campaigns Find out more about what we're doing right now to make student life better at UAL and see how you can get involved.
Liberation and Inclusivity Recognising and representing the diverse student community at UAL is a fundamental part of our work at Arts SU. Our mission is to understand the inequality and disparities that exist for our students in arts education and wider society so that we can respond. We want our work to provide a voice and platform to marginalised student communities, actively educating and addressing the barriers that exist.
National Union of Students Arts SU is an affiliate of the National Union of Students. Find out how you can get involved in with the national student movement here
Policy and Research The Policy and Research department support the Officer team to prepare for committee meetings with University Leadership as well as leading and supporting research undertaken by Arts SU to better know the issues affecting our students. In the past we've released research on the Cost of Study, Decolonising the Curriculum, and Student Housing.
Student Wins Check out the most recent wins that have been achieved for Arts students through successful student-led campaigns and lobbying.

Make change

Freedom and Liberation never comes from the top; Arts SU knows and believes in the power of grassroots campaigning. Campaigns are all about organising together to create change, whether it be laws, policies, structures, representation, behaviours, or something else entirely! Grassroots campaigning is more than just influential people talking about issues impacting us – it’s doing something about it!

Here at Arts, we have a very loud and rich history of campaigns lead by UAL students. We’ve successfully won campaigns on Mental Health support; Extenuating Circumstances; Gender Neutral Toilets; International Student Fees; Disability awareness; and many more! Our work has previously reached a national audience. One of our most current and significant campaigns is on Cost of Living.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
