Student Reps Brief
This year we will be doing our first ever QMU Teaching awards in association with the Higher Education Academy and the National Union of Students.
We think that it’s about time that we recognize those members of staff that go above and beyond to enhance our student-learning experience.
The Students’ Union would appreciate it if you could talk to your classes, and forward the following information to your peers, to make sure that they know its happening. We’ll be launching it on Monday 30th January and nominations will be open for 3 weeks.

Welcome to the environment and ethics page of our website. Here you’ll find all the information you need to know about what your union does to reduce our impact on the world, and how you can get involved.
In a world becoming more and more global, Environmental and Ethics issues can no longer be ignored. The Students’ Union believes that actions must be taken at local, national and worldwide levels to make the planet more sustainable.
QMUSU recently adopted a Sustainable policy (The Students Union Policy ) committing to monitor the environmental aspects of its activities (Environmental Aspects and Impacts of The Students’ Union) and to campaign for rising awareness of ecological issues amongst its members.
Working alongside the University, who ranks as one of the most sustainable campus in the UK for its facilities, The Students’ Union aims to:
- Reduce waste and energy consumption;
- Increase the purchase of Fairtrade goods;
- Support environmental and ethics initiatives.
