► Big Ideas

If you have any idea, big or small, about how NTSU can improve:

• Your Union,
• Your University, or
• Your Nottingham,

... please let us know using the form below.

Once a term, the feedback you provide will be compiled into a series of reports and discussed at one of the assemblies. You can come to the assembly and discuss your idea, in person, with your elected officers.

The reports will then be discussed at a Union General Meeting, where all students will have the chance to vote whether to accept the report or not. If they do, NTSU will do its best to put into practice what you asked for.
