Leeds conversations: USS pension scheme
Book your place at our Leeds conversations event
The Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) is currently going through a valuation – a statutory assessment of a pension scheme’s financial health, carried out at least once every three years.
The scheme faces some significant challenges and we want to talk openly about these as a University community.
To work for everyone involved, the scheme should be:
- Fair: so it works for and is accessible to all potential members, regardless of age, background or career stage.
- Valued: so everyone sees and receives the benefit of it.
- Sustainable: so it continues to be affordable and secure for individuals and employers.
- Stable: so there’s confidence in it.
- Portable: so it helps colleagues move freely around the sector to develop their careers.

Join our Vice-Chancellor, Professor Simone Buitendijk, and our Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Hai-Sui Yu in a live event to hear about the issues faced by the scheme and a summary of negotiations and decisions to date. Simone and Hai-Sui will be joined in these events by Mark Taylor-Batty, University of Leeds UCU Pension officer.
