Referendum: Should the Union continue to be affiliated to National Union of Students UK (NUS UK)?

The Union is affiliated to the National Union of Students (NUS). The Education Act states that where a Union is affiliated to any external organisation, there should be a procedure for the membership to review and approve affiliation status.

The last review of the Union's affiliation to NUS was held in October 2017, so we are long overdue a review of our affiliation.

On February 6 2023, Union Executive voted to hold a referendum to decide whether: ‘Should the Union continue to be affiliated to National Union of Students UK (NUS UK)?’

We're here to facilitate this vote and will remain impartial until an outcome is reached. After the vote, whichever outcome has a majority will set our position as a Students’ Union.

The results will be announced on Friday 5 May at 13:00. If you have any questions regarding the Referendum, please contact [email protected].
