15 14 AWARD-WINNING STUDENT SUPPORT UNIVERSITY COLLEGE BIRMINGHAM GUILD OF STUDENTS WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK We would like all students to be able to engage in every aspect of life at University College Birmingham. Bus money, a good night’s sleep, food in your stomach – we know that you can’t engage in your studies unless your basic needs are met. The Guild can signpost you to services that you need and work with you to create student-centred approaches to tackling issues. FIND YOUR PEOPLE We want you to feel part of a real community at University College Birmingham because we know that this is the single best indicator of success for students. The Guild has a huge range of societies and clubs you can join, including our liberation societies like the LGBTQ+, trans, parents and carers and disability networks, or our interest societies including sports, arts, cultural, liberation and course-specific societies. But the Guild goes beyond setting up societies and organising events – they work to ensure that every student has a friend that they made here. You can find the Guild of Students in our Moss House campus SHAPE YOUR LIFE Finally, the Guild works with our students to help shape their lives, the world around them and achieve their personal best. You can improve your confidence and contribute to a better tomorrow by getting involved in campaigns organised by the Guild. If you don’t want to get involved, that’s fine – you’re still likely to benefit from the work that they’re doing. For example, the Guild recently ran a ‘cost of living’ campaign, called for free public transport for students in the region and joined forces with other student unions to demand a ban on gender conversion therapy. The Guild also has dedicated academic, liberation and sustainability reps. ucbguildofstudents GuildOfStudentsUCB ucbguild.co.uk As soon as you enrol at University College Birmingham, you automatically become a member of the Guild.
