Your faculty, your vote!

The Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences is more than just lectures and exams. Behind the scenes, policies are being made that have a direct impact on your time as a student — from student wellbeing to internationalisation, sustainability, and the quality of education.

The Faculty Council is the official participatory body where students and staff work together with the faculty board to make decisions on all of these matters. As a student, you not only have the right to good-quality education — you also have the right to influence how your faculty is run.

By voting in the Faculty Council elections, you choose who represents your voice in discussions with the board. You show what matters to you, and you help ensure that the student perspective is heard.

That’s why: use your vote — what you think might just make the difference.
