Recognised by the Scottish Parliament
NUS Scotland is recognised by the Scottish parliament as the key voice of students in Scotland.
We work in collaboration with both local and national government, trade union, pressure and voluntary organisations and have a track record of winning for students. We also maintain a high profile in the Scottish media.
The structure of NUS Scotland
NUS Scotland is an autonomous, but integral part of the National Union of Students. We are a key stakeholder in the development of public policy and aim to develop and support the experience of students attending universities and colleges in Scotland.
NUS Scotland runs four liberation campaigns
We recognise that the student population is diverse and ever-changing. To ensure all our members are included in the student movement, NUS Scotland has four liberation campaigns:
- Women’s Campaign
- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) Campaign,
- Disabled Students Campaign
- Black Students Campaign
Each of these campaigns is led by an elected officer. They are autonomous but integral parts of the organisation which act as a foundation for our equalities campaigning.
Our staff team
In addition to the Scottish Executive Committee, NUS Scotland has ten members of staff who support the work of the organisation.
NUS Scotland's budget is set at NUS UK's Annual Conference, however, the SEC controls expenditure and finances and staff are managed by the NUS Scotland Director.
