Student Representatives of the administration

A student representative is the voice of students in decision making. There are student reps in the University’s administration ranging from the Board of Directors to Degree Programme Committees.

Faculty Education Committees

The Education Committee is the faculty’s highest organ specializing in educational matters. Its tasks include preparing the faculty’s education action plan and curricula, as well as evaluating the quality of educational activities. The Education Committee may also be assigned other tasks delegated to it by the Faculty Board or the Dean, such as those of the Degree Programme Committee, if one has not been separately appointed.

Within the Education Committee, the faculty’s educational activities are developed in practical ways — for example, based on the feedback given by bachelor’s students. The opinions of student members often carry significant weight in the committee’s work. Student representatives on the Education Committees collaborate closely with the subject societies within their faculties.

Each faculty’s Education Committee includes two to three regular student members, depending on the faculty, and an equal number of deputy members, all appointed for a two-year term. Student members who are not university staff receive a meeting fee of €44.50 per session. Study credits can be granted from the position.
