Participation and representation

There are multiple ways to give your opinion or have a say in education, study facilities, and other study related subjects.

Board of Studies

The Board of Studies (BoS) is the executive committee of the Graduate School of Teaching (GST). It decides on issues regarding staff, finances and educational policy. The BoS regularly confers with the Board of Governors and the Committee of Deans from the five school-subject faculties. The Degree Programme Advisory Committee provides the BoS with advise regarding its decisions.


Degree Programme Advisory Committee

The Degree Programme Advisory Committee provides the Board of Studies with both solicited and unsolicited advice regarding the Master's programmes and minor programmes. The Degree Programme Advisory Committee advises with regard to quality, organisation and policy.


Student representation

Employees and students participate in the policy-making process and advise the various administrative bodies in each organisational layer of Utrecht University.
