Union of Kingston Students

The Union of Kingston Students is run by students for students. Your chosen representatives work hard to campaign your views and give you guidance. They also organise unmissable events and activities throughout the year.

Events and activities

There's always something to get involved in at Kingston University. Every year the Union of Kingston Students' societies run hundreds of events including:

• charity fundraisers;
• dinners and dances;
• themed nights;
• conferences;
• guest speaker events;
• fun activities; and
• trips abroad.

The societies come together for big events like the Global Festival – a week-long festival celebrating diversity, culture and internationalism.

At the end of the year it's the Societies and Volunteer Awards, celebrating all of the exceptional work that societies have done.

Freshers' activities

The Union of Kingston Students introduces you to Kingston University with a week of lively social events. The Freshers' Fayre is the biggest in the South East of England, with thousands of students looking at joining societies, sports and student services.

The rest of the week is packed with welcome and orientation events, parties and bar nights. The grand finale is the Freshers' Ball usually with a fun, glamorous theme, special entertainment and even celebrity appearances.

Student support services

To make sure your student journey is smooth sailing, there is a dedicated team of professional advisers on hand to offer free, independent advice on academic issues.
