Student Union & Student Voice

Get involved in college life and help improve the college experience for all. Being part of our Student Union and Student Voice is an excellent opportunity to get your voice heard, it looks great on your CV and university applications and you get to meet people outside of your course.

Student Union

Our Students’ Union helps to make key College-wide decisions and leads College awareness campaigns. They also lobby local and national government (via the National Students Union, NUS) on important student rights issues. The team is made up of elected students and is led by a Student President and Vice President.

Our mission: We are here to ensure college is a place you belong and truly feel a part of our diverse population. Our job is to represent NCS ‘CARES’ values and to support all learners, being kind too everyone! To this end, our value statement is as follows:

“At New college Swindon, we value YOU, it doesn’t matter where you’re from or what you believe. We value everyone because we’re better together than apart.” NCS SU 2022

The college’s student union is managed by the NCS Exec committee. The NCS Exec is run by students for all students. We’re here to listen, discuss and share your thoughts with NCS Executive Management Team to ensure positive improvements are made here at New College.
