Student representation

Would you like to help improve our education? You can have your say about your study programme at UU in several ways. You can give your opinion individually or join a representative body. Check out the possibilities below.

Give your opinion

Give your opinion about your studies and the UU as an organisation, so we can improve our education.

Participate in a representative body

Participation is something you can do in addition to your studies. You gain experience in thinking about changes and improvements in a large organisation like the UU and, above all, it is enriching for your CV. Would you like to become active in a representative body?

Student assessors

Student assessor Humanities

Annebet van Rijn is a member of the faculty board and has a say in faculty policies. The assessor primarily focuses on educational policies and other matters important to students, with the main task of bringing the student perspective into discussions.

What does the student assessor do?

Acting as a vital link among students, student associations, the faculty board, the faculty's (co-)representation, and faculty staff, the assessor plays a crucial role. In addition to influencing faculty policies, the assessor initiates their own projects to implement improvements within the faculty. Furthermore, the assessor participates in meetings with The College of Utrecht's Assessors and the National Student Council of Arts and Humanities.
