These groups campaign on issues relevant to their members, as well as providing support
and a social platform, specifically focusing on the injustices that they face in university life.
RUSU has four Representation groups - Bulmershe Students, International Students,
Mature Students & Post-graduate Students.
Bulmershe Students
This group is for students studying and/or living at Bulmershe. It campaigns on issues such
as getting a cash point on Bulmerhse campus , a better shuttle bus service, keeping halls
open and library issues. It also works very closely with Bulmershe JCR.
For more information contact the Bulmershe Rep at bulmersherep@rusu.co.uk
International Students at Reading University (ISRU)
Week 8 is International week. Check our page above for events we have lined up.
This group is just getting on its feet at RUSU, with its first committee starting last year
(2007/8). The group campaigns on areas such as the difficulties of international students
becoming eligible to work in the UK, student summer accommodation and tackling the
barriers obstructing international students mixing at university. The group hope to have
good links with the other international focused societies that the Union has to offer to
provide a successful and high-profile group.
If you want to know more about this group and their activities, visit the ISRU website
where you can see everything they've been up to and all they have planned for the
future. This group is also on facebook, search for 'International Students in Reading' and

Mature Students Representation Group (MSRG)
This group was setup little under a year ago and had gone from strength-to-strength. It
provides a mutual support network, problem-solving platform and a social setting for mature
students at Reading. Most of this group's communication works through the University
Blackboard system, and allow not only interaction between mature students and committee
but also student to student interaction for both social and academic purposes.

Post-Graduate Representation Group (PGRG)
This group focuses on the barriers that post-grad students face when at university such as
to participation, academic issues and support, and also provides a network of support for its
members.
This group focuses on supporting post grad students during their university experience. This
can be through academic support awareness, networking with like minded fellow students or
attending social events.
