The University of Manchester Students' Union is the representative body of students at the University of Manchester, England, and is the UK's largest students' union with over 40,000 members.[1][2] It was formed out of the merger between UMIST Students' Association (USA) and University of Manchester Union (UMU) when the parent organisations (UMIST and the Victoria University of Manchester) merged on 1 October 2004.
It does not have a president, but is instead run by an 8-member executive team who share joint responsibility.[3]
