 Quality Students' Unions

 

 

Quality students’ unions are sustainable, impactful, and achieve great things for their students and society. The great work that unions do needs to be well recognised and resourced by the sector, by government and by the public. 

 

Quality Students' Unions (QSU), is a framework to help students' unions achieve their full potential. It helps us collect and share good practice in the movement, turning this into useful advice, guidance and tools for unions to help our members be the best they can be. 

The QSU framework has been designed to be undertaken every three years to support regular reflection and celebration of your union’s practice. NUS Charity will revise the framework every three years to ensure it’s up-to-date, fit-for-purpose and reflective of best practice across the student movement.

 

"It's really hit home to the university all the great things the SU does."
