You also represent the section in several different forums, both as a student representative for the social science students in various university bodies, but also by attending sessions, meetings and meetings on behalf of the section.

You also need to be prepared to be involved in important and topical student issues and to discuss these with relevant student groups, stakeholders from the union, union associations or the university.
