Fees introduced to degree programme student representatives in 2025 – call for new reps ends Oct 14

Did you already notice that we’re looking for new student representatives to the degree programme steering groups for Master's and Bachelor's programmes?

Applications are accepted from 16 September to 14 October 2024. You need no special skills to apply – being motivated to take on the task is enough.

As a student representative, you will have a concrete influence on your programme and will pass on student ideas and feedback. Acting as a student representative also offers a lot to yourself: in addition to earning credits, you’ll have a prime vantage point to witness the University’s operations and develop useful worklife experience and networks. 

In 2025, the University will also introduce meeting fees for student representatives in the steering groups. As a student representative, you will receive a fee of 35 euros / meeting for participation. The steering groups meet on average once a month during the academic terms.

Interested in applying? Check out the previous bulletin where our degree programme directors discuss the importance of student representatives. Instructions for applying and answers to frequently asked questions are available on the website of our Student Union, HYY.
