Internationalising students' unions

The National Union of Students (NUS) ran a project to help students' unions assess and develop their services for and engagement with international students. This involved the development of an audit tool for unions to self-assess their internationalisation activities (versions are available for both further education and higher education unions) and a set of training materials for use with students' union officers and staff.

For a summary of the project activities and outcomes to date read the note for new officers (August 2011).
