Students’ Union

The Students’ Union is run by students, for students.

Located within the heart of our beautiful campus, the Students’ Union is the perfect place to find like-minded people and meet your Edge Hill family. Why not find and meet other students with a shared passion, interest, or hobby by joining one of our 70 student-led societies, and find out about upcoming events on campus and beyond.

Once you join Edge Hill University as a student, you’re automatically enrolled as a member of Edge Hill Students’ Union.

Your new Students’ Union

Your Students’ Union is continuously committed to enhancing your student experience at Edge Hill, we desire to provide students with the facilities and opportunities to find what excites you, meet like-minded people, and create lifelong memories on our campus.

That’s why we’re delighted to announce that plans have been unveiled to open a brand-new £8.5m Student’s Union facility in 2024.

Based on current students’ feedback, the new building will feature flexible spaces able to adapt to different day and night-time events, both inside and using the external space. There will be society rooms and open social spaces to suit students’ needs, as well as embedded technology to enable more interactive experiences. Retail, food and drink outlets and student support facilities will sit on the ground floor.

Featured within the development are plans to revitalise and get the most out of the public realm space too. There will be space for events like outdoor cinema or food markets, as well as external areas to meet and relax.
