Student democracy

Student democracy is a collective term for all students who have voluntarily taken the task of being a spokesperson for their fellow students. The student democracy includes class representatives from each study programme. These representatives collaborate with the Student Councils on the behalf of the other students on student rights and welfare.

Why join the student democracy?

  1. You expand your social network. The Student Parliament attends meetings and conferences across the nation, where you get the chance to meet different people from other institutions all over the country.
  2. You learn to speak up. The Student Parliament consists of 15 people, so you will gain experience in terms of talking in front of a crowd.
  3. You receive a certificate of your duty. That is an advantage when applying for a job. Students who have participated in activities outside of school have a better chance of getting the jobs they apply for.
  4. You gain an understanding of the university school's structure and will have the opportunity to work with the management of the school in different committees.
  5. Learn to take responsibility of your own situation as well as the future. You will not become a "mainstreamer".
  6. Avoid being one of those students who complain about the student-situation without taking action. Demand to be heard!

VOTE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
