The Coalition of Higher Education Students in Scotland (CHESS) is a group for representing higher education students in Scotland. All the unions have to pay an affiliation fee to be part of CHESS, similar to being part of the NUS.

It is a campaign body for discussing issues that effect students and representing them to national and governmental bodies.

• University of Aberdeen
• University of Dundee

• University of Strathclyde
• Open University in Scotland
