Like most (if not all) Students’ Unions across the country, when it comes to gender, race, sexuality, and disability we operate a self-definition system. We do this because some of us might not self-define with the same gender or sexuality as when we first started university. This becomes important around SU Elections as we want to limit the voting of who should lead communities to those that belong to that community only. Set your preferences below.
* Global Majority is a collective term that encourages those of African, Asian, Latin American, and Arab descent to recognise that together they comprise the vast majority (around 80%) of people in the world.
Football (or soccer) is a team sport played between 2 teams of 11 players and is one of the world's most popular sports.
The game is played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end.
The object of the game is to score by getting the ball into the opposing goal, and the team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins.
