SCHOOL OF PHARMACY

The Students' Union of the School of Pharmacy is run by an elected council of student officers, all of whom are usually undergraduates on the MPharm degree course, with facilities that include the Junior Common Room (JCR), which is in the basement of the School. Both undergraduate and postgraduate students are free to use the JCR as a place to meet, eat, socialise or study during the day. The JCR Bar opens on Friday evenings to all StudentsÕ Union members and their guests.

The Students' Union of the School of Pharmacy organise a number of social events throughout the year, including annual boat parties and the Midsessional Ball in February. We also arrange a variety of career-related events, some of which are organised in partnership with the British Pharmaceutical Students Association (BPSA). There is also a Postgraduate Society which organises regular social events specifically for postgraduate students.

The Students' Union of the School of Pharmacy supports a number of clubs and societies. The two Sports Representatives on the Union Council are responsible for the various School of Pharmacy sports teams, including a successful football team. There are also several cultural and religious societies that are extremely active in terms of organising and promoting regular social, educational, and charitable events, all of which are open to all members of the Students' Union.

During Freshers' week, the Students' Union welcomes new students to the School of Pharmacy by holding a Freshers' Fair and putting on social and sporting ice-breaker events. Second and third year students participate in a Big Brother/Big Sister programme, supported by both the School administration and the Students' Union, to mentor first year students in their first few months at university. In recent years the Students' Union has also run a series of competitive events for both freshers and more established students called the Florence Cup Challenge, which has been designed to foster a sense of involvement and community.

Representatives from the Students' Union Council sit on many of the School of Pharmacy's committees, and are an integral part of the School's decision making processes, having their say on matters that affect all students in the day-to-day running of the School.
