ABOUT TU DUBLIN STUDENTS’ UNION

The Technological University of Dublin Students’ Union (TU Dublin SU) is a Constitutional Body that represents the interests of the students of TU Dublin. Every TU Dublin student is automatically a member of the TU Dublin Students’ Union. TU Dublin SU works for the students and represents them. It is student-owned, student-led, student accountable and officially recognized by the Governing Body of TU Dublin as the autonomous voice of the students at the university. Its mission is to support student life by providing a range of student services including events and campaigns, providing advice, advocacy, and representation in the defence of students’ rights in academic, social, and personal matters and is independent of TU Dublin. 

TU Dublin Students’ Union has two structures, one of which is a democratic political structure, the Student Council; this establishes policy for the Union and to which all elected Officers are accountable. The General Manager supports the President of the Students’ Union and the full-time officers in achieving their constitutional objectives and provides leadership of the TU Dublin SU CLG and its employees for the continued development of the company.
