NUS or National Union of Students are the national union representing students from across the UK. They aim to achieve change through campaigns and organising efforts, shaped by SU and student suggestions. The Guild are a member of NUS and so we work with them by attending events, joining campaigns and influencing their priorities. Find out more about how we’re working with NUS and how you can get involved below.
At NUS Conference in 2024, delegates voted for a series of reforms to change the way NUS operate and the structure of future conferences. These reforms led to the creation of NUS England, and with it a change to NUS’ campaigning timelines and conference rep numbers.
This year, NUS England Conference will be held from 19th-20th November, with the 4 Guild Student Officers (Othman, Holly, Will & Jitendra) attending. There they will be at the heart of NUS’ decision making, representing our union on a national level and making real change to the student experience.
You can still get involved by hearing from the Officers about all the updates after Conference at Student Officer Question Time at 1pm on 3rd December.
