The Association of University Teachers was a trade union and professional association for academic and academic-related staff at universities in the United Kingdom. A local association or branch of the association was established at the Royal College of Science and Technology in 1954. In 1959 it took over the functions of the Royal College of Science and Technology Staff Association, an earlier professional association which had been established at the College in 1945. In 1964 the branch became known as the Strathclyde Association of University Teachers but was not formally reconstituted as such until 1972.
