We’re building a NUS for our future!

Update: 12th September 2024 - we have published an implementation plan for reforms to NUS democracy and organising here: https://www.nus.org.uk/nus-democracy-implementation-plan
Following our consultation with students’ unions we’re bringing a package of reforms back to members to vote on at conferences. These reforms have been designed to strengthen how members engage with and shape the work of your national union and empower different nations and liberation groups to determine their own ways of working.
- Separate ‘England’ and ‘UK’
- Create flexible membership structures with more engagement opportunities for both students’ unions and students directly
- Invest in international student representation
- Set up the Liberation Collective to have a formal link to NUS
Members at each of our five democratic conferences in 2024 (National Conference, Liberation Conference, NUS Scotland Conference, NUS Wales Conference, and NUS-USI Conference) passed the reform motions put before them.
