Who we are
Formation of UCU
The University and College Union has been formed by the amalgamation of the Association of University Teachers and NATFHE - The University & College Lecturers' Union.
UCU is the largest trade union and professional association for academics, lecturers, trainers, researchers and academic-related staff working in further and higher education throughout the UK.
UCU CYMRU
The union is now organised to reflect differing higher education funding within the UK. UCU Cymru will deal with HEFCW funding issues.
Cardiff University and College Union is the nationally recognised body representing professionals in Higher and Further Education. UCU is a professional association, and a trade union. We are the representative voice for academic and academic-related staff at Cardiff University.
Cardiff UCU members include academics, researchers, managers, librarians, computer staff, postgraduates who teach and other hourly paid teaching staff, whether on fixed-term or on permanent contracts; whether full-time or part-time. We have a strong core of active members but we always welcome new members and new ideas.
