Our research
Here at the SU, we’re committed to producing high-quality research which informs our projects, campaigns and priority work to represent students and the issues they face.
If you would like to use any of our research findings to inform your own campaigns or projects, please feel free to do so. You can also contact any members of the Student Voice team for more information.

One of the ways we do this is through submitting evidence to Parliament on relevant issues, a list of which you can find below.
