Taya Mwah

Proud to be the UK’s biggest LGBTQ+ student event.

  • We’re made for students, run by students, and committed to improving the queer student experience across the UK.

    Every year, we come together with LGBTQIA+ proactive employers, hosting the UK’s largest LGBTQ+ inclusive careers fair.

    We’re a festival of talks, music, activism, parties, and a celebration of our authentic selves.

  • We are an agenda-setting event at the cutting edge of LGBTQ+ issues. We were founded in 2005 and have remained ahead of the curve on queer debate. From calling out racism, talking about mental health and LGBT+ homelessness, to inclusive sex education – year on year we’re proud to lead important conversations.

  • National Student Pride opens doors to LGBTQIA+ young people – we are a not-for-profit organisation run by a committee of student volunteers and supported by a team of graduate volunteers, and an experienced advisory board who help to strategically steer the organisation. Through this, National Student Pride helps young people to develop their skills and kick-start their careers with the UK’s largest LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Careers Fair.
