What is a section?

The sections carry out educational monitoring and study social work in a defined field of activity. The area of activity is usually based on one or more faculties.

The work of the Section is guided by a democratically structured Section Council. The structure of the different Section Councils varies slightly, but all have a Chair, Vice-Chair and a number of members. The members are students studying in the field of study and may belong to student associations or be student representatives on the Board of the institution.
