The Mission of the Union is to be the independent representative organisation for students of the TUS (hereinafter referred to as ‘the University’), to act in the best interests of its members, to advance and defend the rights, primarily in relation to their education and welfare as students of the University, and also as active participants in Irish society.

The Vision is that each student of the University will have a positive and transformative experience to assist members in reaching their full potential both academically and professionally, to become socially responsive and politically aware, and to develop as ethical and informed individuals.

The Values of the Union are that it will be student-led, democratic, inclusive, transparent, accountable, ethical, respectful, empowering and professional.
