[[Newcastle University Students' Union]] (NUSU), known as the Union Society until a 2012 rebranding, includes student-run sports clubs and societies.

The Union building was built in 1924 following a generous gift from an anonymous donor, who is now believed to have been [[Cecil Algernon Cochrane|Sir Cecil Cochrane]], a major benefactor to the university.<ref>{{cite book |last=Bettenson |first=E |title=The University of Newcastle upon Tyne: a historical introduction, 1834–1971 |publisher=University of Newcastle upon Tyne |year=1971 |isbn=0-900565-32-2}}</ref> It is built in the neo-[[Jacobean architecture|Jacobean]] style and was designed by the local architect [[Robert Burns Dick]]. It was opened on 22 October 1925 by the Rt. Hon. [[Eustace Percy, 1st Baron Percy of Newcastle|Lord Eustace Percy]], who later served as [[Rector (academia)|Rector]] of King's College from 1937 to 1952. It is a Grade II [[listed building]]. In 2010<!-- November 2010 to September 2011 --> the university donated £8&nbsp;million towards a redevelopment project for the Union Building.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-11706133|title=Newcastle University building revamp starts|work=[[BBC News]]|date=7 November 2010|access-date=19 February 2019|archive-date=4 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220804173457/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-11706133|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Students' Union is run by seven paid sabbatical officers, including a Welfare and Equality Officer, and ten part-time unpaid officer positions.

The Students' Union also employs around 300 people in ancillary roles including bar staff and entertainment organisers.
