Free UCU membership for doctoral students who teach

The University and College Union (UCU) is committed to supporting you at the start of your career and then throughout your time within higher education.  

UCU fights to improve salaries and campaigns on a range of issues affecting working conditions, including fairer contracts for casualised staff and tackling insecure employment.  Membership offers you protection in the workplace along with a CPD programme designed to help you make the most of your career.  

UCU's stand in defence of pensions demonstrates it is an active union, keen to ensure that your contribution to the profession is recognised and valued.
