National Union of Students (NUS)
Founded in 1922, the NUS was initially intended for university students only, but now includes most institutions in further and higher education in the UK. The NUS is a federation of the autonomous students’ unions, each of which sends delegates to the twice annual conference.
There is an elected executive body which carries out the decisions made at the conferences. The main aim of the union is to promote and maintain the educational, social and general interests of students. Membership consists of one-and-a-half million members at 850 institutions.
