We are The National Student Television Association.

Where Student TV has been living and thriving since 1968.

Awarding.

Every year up to 45 student TV stations enter the NaSTA Awards, the most prestigious & longest running student TV awards in the UK. The NaSTA Conference & Awards are the highlight of the student television calendar with students, alumni and industry leaders meeting together for industry sessions, networking, and the annual awards ceremony.

Connecting.

NaSTA has connections with the best in the business. We work with industry giants to give our members priority access to jobs, sometimes before they go live to the public, and exclusively to NaSTA members. We’ve built up a collection of Alumni who now work in the television industry, and who love to help NaSTA members.

Expanding.

Student television in the UK is over 50 years old and NaSTA itself has been going for over 45 years. We have grown from an annual meeting of a few stations showing off their videos, to a community of up to 45 stations regularly working together and sharing ideas. NaSTA is developing official relationships with industry leaders such as the BBC and ITV.

Industry Partners

Our connections and alumni bring us right into the world of television. We’ve developed partnerships with huge industry names and work with them in a variety of ways, from offering exclusive work experience to NaSTA members, attending conferences, and sponsoring & judging awards.

What’s made NaSTA successful?

So many amazing people have built up and grown NaSTA over the last 40 years to what it is today, and we wouldn’t be here without them. NaSTA is a UK registered charity run by volunteers from within student television and those who have moved on to successful careers in the industry. One thing unites them all — the love of seeing students succeed in making television. They all work to create and develop opportunities for our members and award them for their creativity.

We’re the home of student creativity.

With an illustrious history of fostering amazing talent, our student TV stations are at the forefront of innovation and creativity in Higher Education.

What better way to show this than the opening montage for the 2020 NaSTA Awards, the first-ever virtual awards ceremony in NaSTA history; a fantastic showcase of work done by our members.

We’re incredibly proud to say we have so much talent within our community.
