is this real life or just a simulation?
SUT+. Training & Simulation.
SUT+ is two events in one – High quality training following on from SUT in Galway (July 2025) and a challenging simulation exercise based on real life students’ union problem solving.
For many attendees, the SUT+ ‘Ballybreag’ simulation is the capstone on the summer training programme, helping them put learning and knowledge into place. It’s a structured but medium-high pressure exercise, pulling together the lore of Students’ Unions, the experience of teamwork and the skillset gained during SUT.
SUT+ takes place at Queen’s University Belfast Students’ Union from 13-15 August 2025.
We’ll do the check-in from 1pm at the Students’ Union and departure will be on Friday after the Comhairle Náisiúnta meeting,
SUT+ is a training event including a hands on, focused simulation exercise, compressing a whole semester’s major incidents and troubles into five hours of intensive exercise, reflection and discussion.
All Sabbatical Officers in AMLÉ membership may attend SUT.
You should register and plan to attend at Queen’s Students’ Union from 1pm on Wednesday 13 August 2025.
Accommodation will be at Queen’s Elms Village halls of residence.
