University of Nottingham Students' Union

The University of Nottingham Students' Union (often abbreviated as UoNSU) is the students' union at the University of Nottingham, England. It is a representative body that aims to represent students to both the university and the wider community.

The Students' Union is housed in the Portland Building on University Park campus, a building shared with some non-student union activities. The union receives a block grant from the university of over £2 million to support its activities, although the union also raises money through income streams such as the Union shop and a bar.

All members of the University of Nottingham are automatically members of the Students' Union, unless they use their right to opt out of membership. As such the University of Nottingham Students' Union has over 32,000 members. The Union obtained charitable status in 2010 and is overseen by a Board of Trustees made up of student-elected sabbatical officers and full-time staff.
