Student representation and student/study associations at VU Amsterdam

Описание: You probably want to get most out of your time as a student at VU Amsterdam. Studying in Amsterdam means you can choose from a wide range of student and study associations. There is also a University Student Council and Faculty Student Council to represent you as a student, and that you can become part of.

The University Student Council (USR) is the Participation Council for students of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The council is mainly engaged in the quality and accessibility of education and the student policy of VU Amsterdam. The USR has many tasks and responsibilities and they ensure that the voice of students is always represented within the organization. The USR is here to represent you as a student – please feel free to reach out with your concerns, ideas or input!

The Faculty Student Council (FSR) is the highest student participation body within their faculty. The FSR is there to represent the interests of students, which means that through the FSR, students have a say in the decisions taken within the faculty. The FSR is the link between students and the Faculty Board. In order to function optimally, it is important that the FSR knows what is going on among students and what the bottlenecks and problems are. If you have a question, a problem or if you have ideas or suggestions, let them know!

You can also become a member of a student our study association. Before you make your choice, it is important to be aware of the difference between student associations and study associations.
A study association or faculty association is founded by students and focusses on the content of your studies and on de-stressing. The emphasis is usually on fun and relaxation and many associations also organize activities. Study associations often offer books for your courses at a discounted rate. Study associations do not haze members and membership is often inexpensive. A list of study associations at VU Amsterdam can be found here: https://vu.nl/en/student/associations....

Student associations focus on creating social connections between students. You can meet people from various study programmes at a student association. Student associations often haze their members, and hazing periods may last several days to several weeks. During this period, new members bond with each other as a group. It is an easy way to meet people and make friends. A list of student associations at VU Amsterdam can be found here: https://vu.nl/en/student/student-life...
