About UCU
The University and College Union (UCU) was formed on I June 2006 by the amalgamation of the Association of University Teachers and NATFHE - The University & College Lecturers' Union.
The new union represents 120,000 staff working in further and higher education and is the UK's largest and most effective voice in post-school education.
Built on the shared experience and expertise of the two strong unions - AUT and NATFHE - the newly created UCU brings together academics, lecturers, trainers, instructors, researchers, administrators, managers, computer staff, librarians and postgraduates from universities, colleges, prisons adult education and training organisations.
Membership details are available on the UCU website, or by post from UCU Membership Administration, 27 Britannia Street, London, WC1X 9BR. Membership Forms are always available in the SCR on the Canterbury Campus or from the Branch Secretary.
