Students’ Union

The Students’ Union at EKC Ashford College is home to the College’s clubs and societies, and organises a wide range of exciting trips and events.

What is the Students' Union?

The Students’ Union (SU) is a group of students dedicated to representing your voice, organising events, and running campaigns to enhance College life.

Every student automatically becomes a member of the SU when they join us, giving you the opportunity to get involved, share your ideas, and help shape student experiences.

The SU is led by the Students’ Union President, Andrew, who works closely with the Student Experience Officer, Summer, to support clubs, societies, and enrichment activities across the College.
