Student Government and participation

Every programme has its own Education Committee, which comprises both students and teaching staff representatives. The committee oversees the quality of the programme, raises any items of concern and provides advice on the development and implementation of education policies to the Education Director. You’ll find the current student representatives under ‘Contact’.

The board of the program is concerned with the programming, organization, coordination and quality assurance of education. This board consists of students and staff members. Contact information for student members can be found under 'Contact'.

The Faculty Council is the representative body for staff and students in the Faculty of Geosciences and advises the Dean on all matters affecting the Faculty. It is comprised of eight students and eight staff members. Students are elected for one year and staff members for two years.

The University Council is the central representative body of Utrecht University, serving the interests of both students and staff. It gives advice and makes decisions about the course of the university as a whole, as well as the state of affairs within the university. It is made up of twelve members of staff and twelve students from all faculties and support services. Every year students elect new representatives, while members of staff do the same once every two years.
