In UEF administrative bodies Student Representatives promote students’ point of view in the decision making and also bring matters that are important for students into public debate. They also have a right to make proposals and motions in the bodies.

As a Student Representative in administration, you can gain valuable experience in administrative and advocacy work and managing matters of common concern. Representatives will receive a fee for participating in the University Collegiate Body’s and Faculty council meetings. Also, a student who has taken part in Collegiate Body actions, can receive 1 ECTS and in Faculty Council 2 ECTS by taking part in administration and teamworking.
