How NTSU
is Governed

NTSU is a student-led charity, and our governance documents set out how NTSU is run, how decisions are made and the responsibilities of the people involved.

These documents help make sure NTSU operates transparently, responsibly and in the interests of our members. You can find our key governing documents below.

Governing Documents

NTSU Byelaws

Our Byelaws set out the rules for how NTSU operates day to day. They provide more detail on areas such as our democratic processes, elections, student representation, committees and the responsibilities of our members and officers.

They work alongside our Memorandum and Articles of Association to provide the framework for how decisions are made across NTSU.

NTSU Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct sets out the standards of behaviour expected from NTSU members.

It helps us maintain a Students’ Union where people are treated fairly and respectfully, setting out expectations around individual behaviour and responsibilities, as well as what happens when those standards aren’t met.
