Attention final-year undergrads 📣

Because now is your chance to share your experiences and make a difference with NSS 2025.

The National Student Survey (NSS) is a major independent survey undertaken by final-year undergraduates at universities across the UK. It takes about 10 minutes, and gives the University, and us here at LUSU, the information we need to improve student experiences. It also helps prospective students make their decision on where to study!

You also have the chance to win 5 x £100 Amazon vouchers, and 50 x £20 Amazon vouchers.

For more information, and to take part, check out the link below.

Trees 4 Votes 🌳

Fancy your hand at planting a tree on campus?

Join us next Thursday 27th February from 13:00-15:00 as we begin to plant some of the trees from last year’s election periods!

Each year here at LUSU, we make a promise: for every 20 votes received in the elections, we will plant one tree. This year? We’re planting 329 trees!

So come along to the ECOHub as we start planting those promises – no experience is needed, so don’t worry if you’ve never planted a tree before. LUSU Green are here to help!
