Students' Union & Student Voice

All students are automatically members of the KC Student Council. This council is run by our elected student executive team. Our Student Council represents the needs of the student body by engaging with college management, The Student Voice and Enrichment Officer, championing the academic needs and social interests of students and the challenges and issues that affect our student population.

We understand that many students struggle from time to time for lots of different reasons; course or exam pressures, money worries, wellbeing or sexual health.

Becoming an active member of the KC Student Council is a great way to enrich your college experience. You will meet new friends, try new things, have fun, have your say and expand your knowledge, confidence and skills that prepare you for life after college.

Here are four ways that you have your say and use your Voices 4 Action during your time at Kirklees College.
