Students Enrolled on Collaborative Programmes!

Middlesex University Students' Union (MUSU) understands that you too are part of the Middlesex University family of students and we have great pleasure in extending the membership of our Union to you.

What do you have to do?:
Contact our student administrator at Trent Park. The mailing address is Middlesex University Students' Union Building, Trent Park, Bramley Road, Southgate, N14 4YZ (tel: 020 8411 6450) or download the NUS Democracy Card application form

The application form should be countersigned by your institution to confirm that you are an enrolled student and attach a recent passport/stamp sized photograph. Also please enclose a postage paid self addressed enveloped to enable us to send the NUS card to you. This opt-in system entitles you to an associate membership at MUSU.

Benefits & Limitations:
As an associate member of MUSU, you are entitled to the Transport for London discount card as per their terms and conditions. You will be welcomed at MUSU events & campaigns, clubs, bars and societies, and all the services that MUSU has on offer. MUSU will be happy to be your representative voice on major issues at the NUS, but unfortunately, you may not contest or vote in either a MUSU or NUS election. Nor would you automatically be entitled to services offered directly by the University as those vary and are governed by the Memorandum of Co-operation (MoC) between your institution and Middlesex University.

So what are you waiting for … come along and join MUSU!

London Transport Photocard

Transport for London, with the support of the University of London Union (ULU) and the National Union of Students (NUS), offer students the opportunity to obtain discounts on their Bus, Tube, Docklands Light Railway and Tramlink travel in and around London. Although we do not issue the cards directly, we do stamp and sign the forms validating your student status.

With a Student Photocard, you can buy a 7 Day, monthly or longer period ticket from the 'Youth' range. This range of tickets comprises 'Youth' Bus Passes, 'Youth' LT Cards (valid on bus, Tube, Docklands Light Railway and Tramlink only) and 'Youth' Tube point-to-point season tickets.
You will save 30% off the price of an adult rate Bus Pass and point-to-point season ticket, while the price of a 'Youth' LT Card is 30% less than the equivalent adult rate Travelcard. These discounts apply to tickets bought from 1 September 2002 with an expiry date of no later than the expiry date of your Student Photocard.

An administration fee of £5.00 is required (not for an extension Photocard). When completing Section 3 of the application form, be especially careful. Course of 1 year or less complete the section headed 'Dates of course of 1 year or less' only by entering the course start date and end date. Courses of more than 1 year complete the section headed 'Course for more than 1 year' only. If in your intermediate 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th year, ticket the appropriate box only - do not enter any dates. If in your final year, tick the final box and then enter your final term start and end date. Ensure that your application form bears the authorisation stamp, establishment registration number and is signed by an authorised signatory of the Students' Union. Enclose a valid form of payment (credit/debit card, cheque/postal order made payable to "Transport Trading Limited"), for the fee of £5.00 which covers administration costs, postage and packing (we do not accept cash). This fee is non-refundable because we still incur costs in processing incorrect and incomplete application forms. Enclose one (1) passport size photograph (40mm x 46mm) with your name printed on the reverse. This confirms that the photograph is a true likeness of you.
