What is NUS and how do I become a NUS DELEGATE?

The National Union of Students (NUS) is a confederation of UK Students’ Unions that fights for student issues and a better future for higher education. They represent students at a national level, making student involvement key to ensuring our voices are heard. One way you can be a part of creating exciting change is through becoming an NUS delegate!

6 x NUS Delegate 
• 2 x Black Students' Delegate

• 1 x Trans Student Delegate

WHAT DO NUS DELEGATE DO?

NUS delegates represent our Students’ Union at the annual NUS conferences. Delegates can vote on behalf of all Middlesex University Students and take part in discussions. The three main purposes of the conferences are to:
  • Scrutinise the current work of the NUS and their elected officers
  • Set the direction of the NUS (i.e. through campaigns and policy)
  • Elect future leaders of the NUS.
How much commitment does the role require? The time commitment required is the duration of the conference (including time for travelling to and from the location unless it is taking place online) as well as a briefing prior to the conference and debriefing after.
The Students' Union covers conference registration fees, accommodation and travel for delegates.
