Student Government and participation

Throughout the UU, students and staff contribute their thoughts on educational matters to the decision-making bodies. Would you like to join them? Then become a member of one of our employee participation bodies. You will gain experience in thinking about changes and improvements in a large organization. Later in your career it can be very beneficial if you can include board or committee experience in your resume. 

There are various employee participation bodies:

  • Education Committee (OC) 
    In the education committee you are engaged in the quality of education.
  • Faculty Council
    The faculty council discusses the faculty policies in the areas of education, research, finance, personnel & organization with the faculty board.
  • The Board of Education Directors
    The Board of Education Directors discusses education matters and developments within the faculty.
  • The University Council
    In the University Council you discuss the central university policies in the areas of education, research, finance, personnel & organization with the UU Executive Board.
