Trade Union Studies

The Centre for Trade Union Studies offers a range of courses designed for trade unionists and those with an academic or other interest in trade union studies.  These courses place trade unions in their economic, political and historical context,  so as to enable an understanding of contemporary national and international issues.

We work closely with other staff from the university, including those in the Working Lives Research Institute, and can draw on the unrivalled resources of the TUC Library Collections and the Women’s Library, both housed at the University.

Students on Trade Union Studies courses are encouraged to relate their work to their own trade union or employment sector.
