Associate Membership: Professional Students

PLEASE NOTE: From 22nd June 2007 applications for the 2006/07 Associate Card will no longer be accepted.

Application forms for the 2007/08 Associate Card will be available online from September 2007. Please check back then for more details.


Student members of professional bodies often study independently and therefore do not have access to membership of a local students' union. In 2004 NUS created an Associate Membership available to students who are studying through participating professional organisations.

What will I get with my NUS Associate Card?

At NUS we know that all students need to save their money and the NUS Associate Card helps you do just this.

  • Your NUS Associate Card is proof that you're a student and will get you a range of student discounts across the UK as well as the opportunity to enter heaps of great competitions online.
  • When you apply for your Associate Card you will also be registered with NUS' website www.nusonline.co.uk. Opt in via your application to receive discount updates via email and also subscribe to NUS' e-newsletter with NUS news, advice and information.

The 2006/07 Associate Card is valid until 30th September 2007 so the earlier you apply for a Card the more money you could save.

(Discounts are provided at the discretion of the retailer or service provider).
