NUS membership and discounts

If you are studying for a Birkbeck degree, you are automatically a member of the National Union of Students, although you will need to apply for an NUS card.

How to get an NUS card

There are two options for the NUS card:

  • NUS Democracy Card: This is the standard NUS card. You will need to bring your Birkbeck student card and a passport-sized photo to the Students' Union Office, between 2pm and 9pm, Monday to Friday during term time.
  • NUS Extra Card: This card entitles you to a range of student discounts. You can either buy a card online or go to the Students' Union Office with proof that you're a student and buy the card directly from them.
