The University of Southampton Students' Union, branded and commonly known as SUSU a contraction of Southampton University Students' Union, is the students' union at the University of Southampton in southern England, United Kingdom. SUSU operates a number of facilities for students at the university, represents the students to the university and at the university council as well as providing support services and social activities.[2] The union is financed through its operations, a grant from the university and additional benefits brought by its charitable status.[3]

It is based on the main Highfield Campus which is where most of its facilities currently exist, but the union also operates a presence at the Winchester School of Art and helps student societies and groups at the other campuses of the university.[4][5] All students at the university become members of the union automatically unless they specifically request to opt out.[6] Its operation is enshrined in law through the Education Act 1994, the university charter granted in 1952 and the Union's constitution.[7][8]

Strategic direction is shared between the chief executive and the five elected Sabbatical officers who are elected each year from the student body.[9][10]
