Student government and participation

At every level of Utrecht University, students and staff help develop policy and give advice to the different governing bodies. A well-organised student and staff representation system is very important to the functioning of the University. Also if you are not part of a consultative body, you can give your opinion on the education, facilities and other study related issues in various ways.
