NUS-USI, the student movement in Northern Ireland was formed in 1972 by bilateral agreement between the National Union of Students of the United Kingdom (NUS) and the Union of Students in Ireland (USI), to address the particular problems of macro-representation of students in the Northern Ireland.
Students at an affiliated college are members of both national students' unions, and benefit from full representation in each body. The elected leader of the organisation is a full-time representative, elected as a sabbatical from one of the member colleges, and serves as a member of the USI Officer Board and the NUS National Executive Committee. An elected term is one year long (July-June). An officer within the executive of the movement may hold an officer position for a maximum of three terms.
The current Convenor / President of NUS-USI is Katie Morgan, a former University of Ulster student.
