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.
