The NUM Student Union (NSU) is a democratic, student led and independent organisation that is a representative body of all students at the NUM; a place where anyone studying at the University can go for advice and representation, get involved with societies and sports teams as well as a somewhere to socialize and chill out with friends. Additionally, NSU is the link between the students and the University Management providing student feedback on campus issues and affairs.
Although we hope that your time at NUM is trouble free, you may encounter situations in which you require the support and representation of the NSU. Individual representation is based on the principles of impartiality, independence, confidence, empowerment and non-judgement.
