From 1 August 2026, the two students’ unions will become one organisation, representing students across the new LASE University Group
The Trustee Boards of Greenwich Students’ Union (GSU) and Kent Students’ Union (KSU) have confirmed that they will merge, creating one students’ union to serve and represent the interests of all students across the new LASE University Group.
The merger will create one of the largest students’ unions in the country with one of the largest geographical footprints. The aim is to establish a combined students’ union that opens up new opportunities for students to take part in bigger events and new activities across all four campuses of the new multi-university group.
Meanwhile, you can expect your current societies, activities and students’ union support services to stay as they are for now.
The new organisation will operate independently, as a single registered charitable entity, with one organisational identity, governed by one Trustee Board.
You can find out more information and FAQs can be found on the KSU website. Further updates will be shared as the Students’ Unions progress their plans.
