Students’ union

The Royal Academy of Dance is a member of the National Union of Students (NUS).

Usually, students on the onsite degree, BA (Hons) Ballet Education, elect an NUS representative on behalf of the student body. There are no students’ union facilities or offices at the RAD. Information from the NUS is circulated to students and posted in the student common area. For questions about the students’ union, please contact faculty@rad.org.uk.
