NUS

Get involved in the NUS at Runshaw

Every student has the opportunity to affiliate to the National Union of Students and take advantage of NUS benefits including discounts on travel, leisure and books. You can also become actively involved in NUS activities such as student representation and student communication.

nus-card NUS (National Union of Students) is a voluntary membership organisation which makes a real difference to the lives of students and its member students' unions.

We are a confederation of 600 students' unions, amounting to more than 95 per cent of all higher and further education unions in the UK. Through our member students' unions, we represent the interests of more than seven million students.

Our mission

Our mission is to promote, defend and extend the rights of students and to develop and champion strong students' unions.

Our vision

Our vision is of NUS as a pioneering, innovative and powerful campaigning organisation: the national voice of students. We will fight barriers to education, empower students to shape both a quality learning experience and the world around them, supporting influential, democratic and well-resourced students' unions.

Equality

We believe there should be equality of opportunity for everyone to participate fully in a society that celebrates diversity.

Democracy

Our policies and priorities must be student-led and students' union-focused through building open, transparent and accessible democratic structures.

Collectivism

Students and students' unions are more effective when they organise together locally, nationally and internationally: unity is our strength.
