What is the reason for this?
Joining Uppsala Student Union is one of the best investments you can make during your studies! We are an organisation for students, working to improve the quality of education and represent the student voice wherever you as a student are affected.
Uppsala Student Union for example, has pushed through:
- Anonymisation of exams
- Better working environment at VFU and internship
- That the university cannot force webcam during class/exam
We'll take your case to the university
We are represented from departmental boards to the highest decision-making body, the Board of Governors, and influence everything from the design of individual courses to issues that affect all students at Uppsala University. We are a consultative body and represent students in decisions concerning our study conditions, and promote issues such as all students having access to at least ten hours of teaching time per week and students being seen as active participants, not customers, within the university.
Getting involved in Uppsala Student Union is thus a way of working to improve the quality of one's education and study situation. In addition, you will benefit from several membership advantages, join and strengthen student influence today!
