Buying Nike gear on a student budget isn’t easy — but the Nike student discount helps. Eligible students can usually get 10% off full-price items, and once you know how it works, it’s quick to use whenever you need it.
Before you shop, it’s also worth checking Groupon’s latest Nike discount codes, as sales or promo codes can sometimes beat the student saving.
What the Nike Student Discount Includes
Nike offers eligible students 10% off most full-price items. Once you’re verified, you can generate single-use codes whenever you need them — it’s not a one-off perk.
The discount works best on new releases and essentials that rarely get marked down. On a £120 pair of trainers, that’s £12 saved straight away.
How to Get Nike Student Discount in Minutes
Nike uses UNiDAYS to verify student status. The whole process usually takes less than five minutes.
Step 1 Sign up to UNiDAYS
Go to the Nike student discount page and log in or create a free UNiDAYS account using your university email address.
Step 2 Get verified
Most students are verified instantly. In some cases, UNiDAYS may ask for additional confirmation.
Step 3 Generate your code
Once verified, generate a single-use discount code. You can come back and get a new code whenever you need one.

| Online | Sign in as a Nike Member and apply your UNiDAYS code at checkout |
In the UK, the student discount is primarily online-only. Some stores may honour it, but this isn’t guaranteed.
What’s Usually Excluded
- Sale items and clearance (with rare exceptions)
- Gift cards
- Apple products
- Selected limited-edition releases
If you’re unsure, add the item to your basket and try the code — it’ll either apply or it won’t.
How to Save More Than 10%
Use Nike Membership perks
To use the student discount, you’ll also need free Nike Membership. Members get delivery perks and easier returns, which saves money over time.
Know when sales beat student discount
During major events like Black Friday or end-of-season sales, discounts of 30–50% usually beat the student offer. Our Nike sales calendar shows when it’s worth waiting.
Rule of thumb: use student discount for new arrivals, sales for last-season gear.
