The first Chaos event takes place early in the Autumn semester, and you will then have the opportunity to meet staff and other students. Keep your eyes peeled for further information! The committee welcomes any suggestions for events you would like to see, and eagerly awaits your support and involvement. Any of us can be contacted via the Society pigeon hole in the General Office.

As soon as you enrol at Cardiff University you automatically become a member of the Students’ Union. This means you have access to all the great services on offer, plus you have the right to make crucial decisions about what the Union does and how it is run. The Students’ Union strives to help students enjoy their time here, make friends and leave University with skills for a future career. It is the recognised voice of students at Cardiff University and it offers advice, representation, training, skills development, student activities, sports clubs and societies, student media, student-led services, volunteering opportunities and employment. The Students' Union can be found at both Cathays and Heath Park Campuses.
