Who we are

NUS Scotland represents the interests of over 500,000 students in Scottish further and higher education. There are three full-time sabbaticals that work for NUS Scotland:
•    President – Robin Parker
•    Depute President – Graeme Kirkpatrick
•    Women’s Officer – Kelley Temple

The full-time sabbaticals make up three of the 13-member Scottish Executive Committee (SEC), which sets policy for the organisation. NUS Scotland has its own dedicated staff, policy and events to specifically represent students in Scotland and assist Scottish students’ associations.
