About the Union

This section of the CUSU website is currently being updated. Some pages may have out of date information as a result. Thanks for your patience. -May 2012

CUSU is your Students' Union. It exists to represent your interests and ensure you have a say in how you experience University, whether you are an undergraduate or postgraduate. Every Cambridge student is automatically a member of Cambridge University Students' Union - and that includes you.

CUSU works by bringing together students from all colleges and departments to campaign for positive change in Cambridge. As well as CUSU, you also are also represented at College level by JCRs and MCRs, and by elected student reps in your Faculties.
