'We champion students to shape the future of education – and create a better world. Education is the defining factor in creating a fairer, more prosperous society, and students are the hope for the future of education.
This is students driving change
We promote, defend and extend student rights. We fight discrimination, isolation and injustice through campaigning and targeted action. We harness the collective power of students through collective and democratic representation.
This is making sure students can thrive
We head up a prosperous and sustainable student movement that means we can give practical information on all the issues that matter to students. The NUS extra card saves students money and brings important commercial influence.
This is representing the realities of students’ lives
We bring together evidence-based campaigns and student-led democracy. We represent students’ interests nationally and develop research that influences national policy. We take on all the issues that affect students’ lives now and in future.
We are the National Union of Students.
We know students. We are students. We are 7 million students.'
'How We Work' - https://www.nus.org.uk/en/who-we-are/how-we-work/
'NUS has five policy zones covering broad areas of issues affecting students:
Policy zones
-
Further Education
-
Higher Education
-
Society and Citizenship
-
Union Development
-
Welfare
The role of each zone is to lead a portfolio of work, enable in-depth and wide ranging research and discussion on issues important to students, and deliver campaigns and work programmes relevant to that area.
Each zone is led by a vice president elected at the NUS National Conference and a committee elected at the Zone Conference held in late October.
Liberation
There are four liberation campaigns that exist autonomously within NUS to defend the rights of marginalised and underrepresented groups.
Being autonomous means each liberation campaign hosts their own annual conference and determines their own policy.
Nations
NUS works across the UK on individual education needs of each nation. Find out more about our activities in:
