We are very pleased to announce that the Arden University Students’ Association has now been officially launched!

I have just finished my LLB degree at Arden I understand the convenience and flexibility Arden offers to us while still pursuing our careers, but also the increased pressures this can bring. I also know how daunting university can be especially if you are studying for the first time, be it via Distance Learning or in one of Arden’s Blended Learning study centres but please know that the Student Association and your Representatives are here for you and will only be a message away!
So, enjoy your modules, make friends, get involved and I hope you enjoy your time at Arden! Be sure to follow our journey as we start to develop our Students’ Association and please feel free to reach out to studentpresident@ardenuniversity.ac.uk with any queries you may have or, just to say hi!"
Here's a message from our CEO & Vice-Chancellor, Carl Lygo;
"I am so excited that Arden University launches the new Students’ Association. It is an important step in the journey of Arden University as it establishes the first independent Students’ Association to represent the interests of our students.
It is the culmination of a lot of hard work, from the team of students who led the development of the constitution, our creative students who entered the competition to design the logo, our advisors supporting the Students’ Association and the team who work with our students to make all this happen.
A big well done to Robert Simmonds for the inspirational winning design!
Great teamwork and I am excited to be working closely with the Students’ Association to support their ambitious agenda.
I’ll be wearing my hoodie with pride!"
