Vision

Our vision is of NUS as a pioneering, innovative and powerful campaigning organisation: the definitive national voice of students.

We will fight barriers to education, empower students to shape both a quality learning experience and the world around them, supporting influential, democratic and well-resourced students’ unions.
 

Mission

To make this vision a reality, NUS will:

• Promote, defend and extend the rights of students
• Develop and champion strong students’ unions
   

NUS values

Underpinning our vision and mission are our five cultural values that we expect everyone that is part of the organisation to champion and demonstrate every day:

Student Focused

“We are committed to ensuring that students can thrive. We respect and understand the importance of student leadership and champion our member students’ unions.”

Collaborative

“We treat each other with respect without fail, promote diversity and seek out new partnerships.”

Learning and Growing

“We take responsibility for constantly improving ourselves and others. If we make mistakes we’ll learn from them and make things better.”

Change Agent

“We never stop trying to improve things; we experiment, challenge the status quo and never, ever ‘do things because it’s the way we always have’.”

Striving for Excellence

“Quality is at the heart of everything we do.  We prioritise work on the areas that have the biggest impact on students’ lives and celebrate our successes.”
