Liberation in NUS is focused on ending the oppression of Black students, LGBT students, trans students, disabled students and women.

We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates, as they are under-represented within NUS currently. Who are we? NUS is a confederation of 600 students’ unions representing over 7m students and apprentices across Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales. In Wales, there are 20 students’ unions representing more than 300,000 students, learners and apprentices. We’re 98 years old and are looking forward to celebrating our centenary having successfully established ourselves at the cutting edge of social change. The student movement is fast-paced and sometimes challenging, but we’re also a big family who support each other. We see anti-oppression as central to our mission. Education isn’t working unless it’s working for everyone in our society. We’re trans inclusive without exception.
