The Aldwych Group is the group of students' unions of the members of the Russell Group of Universities in the United Kingdom. It was established in 1994, as a watchdog in response to the creation of the Russell Group.[1][2]
It is so called because its was established at a meeting at the London School of Economics and Political Science, which is located on Aldwych.
The current Chair is Sean Ruston of Warwick Students' Union, who was elected in July 2011.

[edit] Observers
Aside from the unions of the Russell Group universities (above), the Aldwych Group is also observed by three other bodies:
- The University of London Union (ULU), due to three of its constituent unions (KCLSU, LSESU and UCL Union) being members
- The National Union of Students
- The National Postgraduate Committee, due to the high numbers of graduate students in the Russell Group and their research-intensive focus
