NUS
NUS is a voluntary membership organisation comprising a confederation of local student representative organisations in colleges and universities throughout the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland which have chosen to affiliate and which pay a membership fee.
We have nearly 750 constituent members (CMs) - virtually every college and university in the country. NUS is one of the largest student organisations in the world and represents the interests of around five million students in further and higher education throughout the United Kingdom. NUS provides research, representation, training and expert advice for individual students and students' unions. We deal with over 15,000 welfare enquiries each year and train over 3,000 students' union officers.
Students' unions are the backbone of NUS and are integral to student life. They provide a broad range of services from welfare advice and information to clubs and societies, bars, shops and catering services, student community action projects and charity fundraising events. Students' unions also play a vital role in facilitating the representation of students' views within the institution. Students' union officers often sit on the board of governors of the college or university and students' unions help student course representatives at a departmental level as well as supporting students in academic appeals.
NUS Extra
NUS has gone the extra mile this year to make sure students are able to get the most out of life.
We have put together a range of exclusive discounts, offers and competitions designed to make student life more exciting, more memorable and more rewarding. Use it to make your money go further on books, clothes, sports stuff, CDs, travel, computer gear, gigs, eating out . . . And not just in the UK either; your Extra card doubles as an International Student Identity Card, so you can use it to get special offers and discounts when you’re travelling abroad as well. Not bad for just ten pounds . . ! Click here to buy one online.
What are the benefits?
A range of exclusive discounts, offers and competitions have been negotiated for NUS Extra members. More offers are being added by the week and there will be some very special prizes up for grabs. The NUS Extra is valid and will help you save some serious cash between 1st September 2008 and 31st October 2009. The transaction between you and your Students' Union also has wider reaching benefits with some of the money from the sale of NUS Extra cards going directly to your Union
