Psst! We are on the market for new student representatives! Now is your chance to join the student representatives team.
We are looking for student representatives for Tampere University’s Societal Interaction Council for the term 2025-2026. More information about the search can be found on TREY’s webpage about the student representatives in administration. The search is open until 15 September 2024.
What is a halloped/student representative?
Halloped or student representatives are our fellow students in the Tampere University’s administrative bodies and they are there to give students’ opinions. Their job is to make sure that students’ rights are followed when preparing things and making decisions in the administration. Students are the experts on studying and what goes on in students lives, which is why it is important that we get as broad a representation as possible from different faculties, degree programs and annual classes in each administrative body.
There are a wide range of different positions available. Unfortunately at the moment only the Societal Interaction Council works mostly in English so in many positions fluent Finnish skills are still required.
What do the student representatives do?
Student representatives participate in the administrative body’s meetings and work with the administration. Working as a student representative, being active and alert is important but you don’t have to spend all your free time with these tasks. Depending on the administrative body, there are usually about one meeting per month. Staying active in the current events at the University and listening to your fellow students give you additional readiness for the positions.
What do you get from all of this?
Student representative work gives you more than just a pat on the back. In addition to the invaluable experience, student representatives receive, among other things, a meeting fee for participating in meetings, and for at least one year of activity, study points for working in university administration.
