Welcome to NUS-USI
Hello everyone and welcome to the NUS-USI website
Hi there, my name is Katie Morgan, I am the President of NUS-USI, which is an organization formed by the National Union of Students UK (NUSUK) and the Union of Students in Ireland (USI). We provide representation and support to students throughout their time at University or College here in Northern Ireland. We represent all students in both the Higher Education and Further Education Sector. NUS-USI is the voice of almost 200,000 students in Northern Ireland!
Every year, students are faced with more and more problems. This year the major issue is Variable Fees. Students are now faced with a massive debt when they leave University. NUS-USI will continue to fight for a better deal for our Students. NUS-USI will also be working closely with the FE colleges to support them during and after the FE merger.
NUS-USI works on a number of different areas including student safety and welfare. We also fight for decent affordable accommodation for all students, good community relations and provide training and development for Students Unions... just to mention a few!
As a student, you now have the opportunity to purchase the NUS Extra Card. This card is giving Students Extra Discounts in over 90 stores including Amazon, Ticket Master and many more. See your Student Union Office for more details. This is the MUST have Card this year.
NUS-USI has been helping students' unions with elections this year for the union executive and student governor positions. An individual student from your college is elected each year by fellow students to sit on the Governing Body - the senior decision making body for your college. If you are interested in getting involved and running for a position, check our website, your local SU or contact NUS-USI for further information.
Remember it is YOUR Students' Union, and NUS-USI is YOUR student voice, USE US!
Good luck with the academic year and get Involved in the Student Movement!
Katie Morgan
President
