About Us
This year NUS turns 100! Our official birthday 10th February 2022. This is a birthday that belongs to all of us.
A century of students and student unions being a part of this unstoppable movement pushing society forward on the big issues facing each of their generations: war, fascism, oppression, poverty, universal public services.

Today’s students are facing today’s challenges with just as much resolve: climate crisis, mental health, economic injustice, and liberation from oppression.

NUS is now made up of two shoulder-to-shoulder organisations: one focused on national campaigning (NUS) and the other on supporting students’ unions to thrive (NUS Charity).
