WE are excited to announce that from 5 August, the new NUS Card 2009/2010 ‘Demand Extra’ will be available. Still only £10 for a year’s subscription, and with access to more and more fantastic deals for the coming year which is great news for OUSA members.
And for an extra £1 you can benefit from the addition of the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) as part of the NUS Card. The ISIC gives access to discounts in the UK as well as over 100 countries around the world. It also provides excellent savings on travel including international flights. This is a card already valued by the student population at large and a must have for travellers.
For further details of why the ISIC is a must have, go to www.isiccard.com
