About Us
The Union of Jewish Student's (UJS) mission is:
'To create meaningful Jewish campus experiences and inspire Jewish students to make an enduring commitment to their Jewish identity, Israel and the community.'
'To create meaningful Jewish campus experiences and inspire Jewish students to make an enduring commitment to their Jewish identity, Israel and the community.'
UJS serves as the sole communal body representing all Jewish students to the Jewish and wider community. As a Union directed by its members, UJS' priority is to meet the needs and demands of our members both individually and through Jewish Societies (J-Soc).
Our primary focus is over fifty J-Socs throughout the UK. UJS offers each J-Soc the expertise, guidance and resources to enrich Jewish student life on campus.
UJS' activities fall into three categories:
1. Partnership Programmes with J-Soc:
These offer J-Soc committees the training and resources to better engage their members. For example, the UJS Summit is a training weekend for all newly elected J-Soc committee officers.
2. Signature Events:
These are annual events that run every academic year. They are high-quality and captivating events that bring together Jewish students from across the UK. For example, the UJS Student Awards -- to recognise and reward the outstanding contributions of Jewish students.
3. Core Activities:
These are educational, cultural and social opportunities that we offer to J-Soc and Jewish students. For example, Birthright, podcasts and speakers.
UJS is also committed to educating non-Jewish students about all facets of Jewish identity, as well as encouraging our members to play a full and proud role in British society.
