The Waikato Students' Union, also known as the WSU, is the official student association at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. The WSU was established in the mid 1970s, as a result of a merger between an existing Students' Association and the Teaching Student Association. The WSU assist students in several important ways, including student advocacy, student engagement, and student voice. They support and fund 85+ clubs over the university's 2 campuses.
In 1998, the WSU was the first students' union in New Zealand to adopt a voluntary membership scheme. In 2000, students voted to reinstate compulsory membership.
The WSU funds the student magazine Nexus.
