Support & Advocacy

We have two faculty coordinators and two student and doctoral student representatives. Among other duties, these are there to help you as a student with all questions and assistance regarding your studies.

Student Representation

Student representation exists to give students a say in their own education. A student representative represents the students' views wherever decisions are made or prepared at the university that affect the students' education or situation.

Advocacy

Uppsala Student Union is constantly working to improve conditions for all students studying at Uppsala University. For example, we have pushed for decisions on anonymisation in exams and that the University cannot force students to turn on a webcam.

Local discounts

Being a member of Uppsala Student Union means you get access to a host of local member discounts. We cooperate with Studentkortet and Campus 1477, but also with many smaller companies in Uppsala.
