Student Representation
Student Representation creates an opportunity for the voice of every student to be heard. The Bloomsbury Institute Student Guild exists to make this a reality by representing the views of its members which comprises of every student that enrols at the Institution.
Governance
The Student Guild is governed by its Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is made up of students (who remain full-time students) who volunteer some of their spare time to play an important and vital role within the Board.
Societies
The Student Guild runs a number of societies and clubs that enable you to build your social capital by interacting and networking with a diverse number of fellow students, lecturers, professionals and influential people outside your usual remit.
Paraguay Project
We believe in making a difference, especially within education, hence we support and fundraise periodically for the Santa Maria Education Fund.
