Student Representation

Student representation exists to ensure that students have a say in their own education. Student representatives represent the views of students wherever decisions are taken or prepared at the university that affect their education or situation.

As a student representative, you will receive ongoing training and information from the union on how best to carry out your role, and you will have the opportunity to push issues and bring about change. The training is tailored to the needs and wishes of the student representatives. In addition, you will receive support from the other student representatives in the Student Representative Council, from the union's paid and employed staff, and from the university.

What do you get as a student representative? An opportunity to have a real impact, a good merit on your CV, a chance to make contacts both within the university, the union and with other students, learn more about how the university works and of course remuneration for many assignments.

Evaluation of the main field of study at advanced level: ABM (Archive, Library and Museum Studies)

Educational evaluations

Faculty of Arts conducts educational evaluations of the faculty's main areas at advanced level in 2026. The educational evaluations are carried out by an assessment panel consisting of four people, including a student representative, who read the self-evaluation and other relevant material produced by the department, and then carry out a site visit. The evaluation is based on the self-evaluation written by the institutions and oral exchanges during the site visit. In addition, the evaluation panel interviews different categories of the institution (programme managers, teachers, supervisors, students, course administrators). Within two weeks after the the site visit, the assessment panel delivers a written summary assessment statement. According to the guidelines, this should include a statement of the strengths, weaknesses/development areas of the program and recommendations. We are looking for a student representative to the assessment panel who is not studying the main field of study, or at the same institution.
