We are delighted to say that we have been awarded the accolade of top Students' Union in the east of England in this year's WhatUni Student Choice Awards.
UPDATE:
The WhatUni Student Choice rankings have been released for 2025, and we are delighted to say that not only was the University of Suffolk awarded the coveted University of the Year award, the Students’ Union has risen 12 places in the Student Union category, to be named in the top five SUs in the country. This result means UOS Students' Union is the top SU in the East of England.
In total UOS won three awards, with the other two being for Lecturers and Teaching Quality, and Student Support, and was awarded a silver award in three further categories: Facilities, International, and Postgraduate.
The SU chief exec Dionne Walton said: “The fact that these awards are voted for by students makes the accolade of University of the Year even more special. We are proud to be central to the university’s work, ensuring that the student voice is heard loud and proud. This year also saw the Students’ Union go up 12 places in the WUSCA rankings to be 5th in the country which is a fantastic result, as well as being top SU in the East of England. I would like to thank all the students who inspire us with their enthusiasm and passion every day. You’re at the heart of what we do!”
