What We Do

UL Student Life is the representative organisation for UL’s 16,000 students. First established in 1972 as the Students’ Union for the National Institute for Higher Education (NIHE) – it has evolved and grown alongside the university, and was most recently re-branded in 2018 as UL Student Life. It is a hub for students’ social, sporting, cultural, political and leisure activities.

Officers of UL Student Life bring your voice to the various committees and boards which meet to manage UL, and work with university management to improve things for you. UL Student Life provides a range of services, supports, events, activities, clubs, societies, campaigns and training to students.

UL Student Life is all about your life as you move through your studies and your extra-curricular activities in UL. We want to ensure that you feel a part of our wider community during your time at UL, that you know that you ‘Belong to the Pack’.
