About us

The student union’s task is to stand for the students’ interests and needs and support them in protecting their rights. The union has more than 140 students from each institute and faculty, and their work is coordinated by the office and the board. The students are represented in every institute’s and faculty’s council, the Senate’s meeting and every committee that influences student life. You can become a candidate for student representative every spring. 

In the 2024/2025 academic year, the Student Union has six work groups: the work group of the chairmen, the communication work group, the study quality assurance work group, the UTSU spirit work group, ISC-masters work group and the foreign students work group.
