Halmstad
Student Union's main mission on a fundamental level is education monitoring,
student influence and quality assurance. We are required to be the students
voice at the university and ensure that the students’ perspectives are included
when needed.
Student
influence is the right to be involved and influence the university's
activities. It is regulated in the Higher Education Act, Chapter 2, Section 7,
where it is stated that students have the right to attend decision-making and
preparation that is of importance to education or the students' situation.
Student influence is most often conducted through student representation and in
practice means that a number of students are elected to represent all the
university's students in the boards and committees that deal with issues
related to education and work environment.
That
students have the right to co-decide on issues concerning education and that
right is ultimately managed by Halmstad Student Union.
