Statement on the occasion of the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine
A year has passed since Russia's last invasion of Ukraine. Uppsala Student Union therefore writes a statement in support of the Ukrainian people, a total withdrawal of Russian troops and more solidarity efforts to make both a reality. We also urge all Uppsala students to attend the anniversary demonstration, which will take place outside the University House at 4pm, on 24 February.

New report: is there enough time?
Uppsala Student Union has conducted a survey of supervisor time for Master's students writing their thesis during the winter. The report finds that the amount of supervisor time varies considerably between programmes and identifies a number of reasons why students receive too little supervisor time when writing their Master's thesis.
A membership in the union is a matter of course during your studies!
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.
