The organisation’s need for student representation

The Department of Psychology is committed to protecting student rights as well as maintaining good quality and improving our courses and study programmes. Your perspective as a student representative is extremely important in a democratic process and we are grateful for your ideas and opinions.

As a student, what can you gain from participating as a student representative?

As a student representative, you gain insight into, knowledge of and an opportunity to influence board work and work processes in committees and working groups. Upon completion of your assignment, you will receive a certificate to add to your qualifications.
