Founded in 1913 to promote the interests of IoE students, the students' union has representation on all the main decision making committees within the Institute and elected officers are available to support individuals who have any concerns about their experience at the IoE. Based in the main Bedford Way building, the union is the hub for students studying at the Institute; we encourage students to get involved by becoming executive officers and student representatives, and by running societies, organizing social events and serving on our Student Representative Council (SRC). Our student led commercial services include a bar, café and shop aim to provide value for money refreshments throughout the week for both students and staff in the main Institute building.
