Met Union is the students’ union (SU) for students at London Met. We are independent, meaning we are separate to the university. We exist to represent your interests, provide opportunities, employment, advice and support. We are your friend and guide while you’re studying.

All London Met students are automatically members of the SU. Once you’re enrolled, you can get involved and access our support straight away.

There are lots of ways! You can become a representative, gathering feedback from your course mates and working with us to make things better. You can join a student society / group, or even create your own. You can apply for a job with us, get involved in volunteering or just come and hang out in our social space. You can also visit us online or in person to have all your questions answered and find the advice and support you need... and much more!

There are loads of different ways to get involved, including volunteering as a course representative or standing in an election to represent your whole school. You can develop leadership skills, make friends on your course and make a difference. Navigate here to find information about becoming an academic representative.

Our advice service is entirely independent from the university, free and confidential. We are here to support you when things go wrong. For example, if you have been suspended, are involved in a student conduct procedure or wish to make a complaint about your course, we can advise you on what to do.
