Student Unions

The Students’ Association, run by our students for our students, provides a wide range of services.

Helping students deal with issues including accommodation, student finance and welfare, the Association also provides a collective voice for our student population and is the recognised channel of communication between students and the University.

Paisley Students' Union - Bar

Ayr

The Union at Ayr Campus provides a convenient facility for students. With a bar/diner, games room, events area and student shop, the Union provides an excellent entertainment schedule for students including live bands, clubbing and karaoke.

Hamilton

With a licensed bar, a coffee lounge, pool tables, video games and a dance floor, as well as coordinating many clubs and societies, the Union in Hamilton caters for all students’ needs, ensuring you’ll never need to be bored again. The Students’ Association also runs a shop in the Almada building.

Paisley

The Students’ Association coordinates a variety of clubs and societies, where students get the chance to make friends, have fun and take a break from their studies. And, if you can recruit 15 likeminded students to help you start a club, the Students’ Association will even subsidise its launch.
