Student Union at University West

Our main task

The student union’s main task is student influence. Therefore, the student union appoints student representatives who represent the students in the university’s various councils and committees.

Student representatives are present in all program councils where students and teachers discuss the education and are a good platform for feedback on how it can be improved. You as students here have a good opportunity to influence the education through your student representative.

The assignment as a student representative is appointed in connection with contact with the Vice Chairman of the Student Union and is a paid assignment where you receive compensation for meetings you attend.

The student union also provides a student representative called Studentombud. All students at University West have the right to receive help with questions regarding the education. Questions may concern course structure, lack of quality in the education or treatment from teachers or students. Read more and contact the Studentombud here.
