What is the University of Hertfordshire UCU branch?

The University and College Union is the recognised trade union and professional association for academics, lecturers, trainers, researchers and academic-related staff working in further and higher education throughout the UK.

Your local branch at the University of Hertfordshire represents its members, negotiates with management, and campaigns for better working conditions and pay. Read more about what we do.

Our key campaigns for 2024/25 are:

  • after the appointment of the new Vice Chancellor, to resume negotiations for an Outer London/Hertfordshire salary weighting for all staff
  • reform the EQUATE process for academic promotions to ensure equity and fair treatment
  • build strength in union membership and representation across all Schools – join us!
