Student life

SRUC has a dedicated Student’s Association (SRUCSA), which organises a lively program of events throughout the academic year as well as functioning as the representational body of its student community at all campuses.

SRUCSA supports a range of sports teams and special interest societies to encourage an energetic social environment, alongside a timetable of networking and careers events so students can explore their employment opportunities while working towards their qualifications.

The Student’s Association is a student-run organisation, with an enthusiastic team of Officers and Coordinators. Students are invited to take on organisational roles within the committee, allowing them to actively contribute to the college’s culture and expand their own experience beyond the classroom.

SRUCSA co-ordinates a wide range of clubs and societies for its population of around 1,700 students. Options include a variety of sports teams, language groups and special interest societies which provide ample opportunities for students to develop extra-curricular hobbies and interests, as well as socialise with students from outside their course.

The college encourages the establishment of new clubs and societies, offering organisational support and funding to help enterprising students who wish to start something up of their own.

SRUC’s campus locations span the breadth of Scotland and offer a diverse mix of city and rural life, alongside unique lived experiences. Cities range from the hilly capital of Edinburgh, with cosmopolitan charm and abundance of restaurants, galleries and museums, to the port city of Aberdeen, deep in the Scottish heartlands with a landscape of granite architecture and maritime heritage.

Historic market towns such as Cupar and Dumfries offer a more relaxed pace of life, with sweeping rivers and surrounding woodland and countryside to explore and enjoy. SRUC also has a campus in the coastal town of Ayr, a short distance to the beach and birthplace of the famous Scottish bard, Robert Burns.

A popular destination for hiking, golfing and horse racing, there is plenty of outdoor activities for students to discover, and an extensive rail network which connects the SRUC campuses with the rest of the country.
