The Union is affiliated to 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 May 2023, where 59.4% of students voted for Students' Union UCL to REMAIN a member of NUS UK. You can view a summary of the 2023 referendum here.

On February 2 2026, Union Executive voted to hold a referendum to decide whether: ‘Should Students' Union UCL disaffiliate from National Union of Students (NUS UK)?’

As a Union, 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 8 May at 16:00. If you have any questions regarding the Referendum, please contact [email protected].
