Elections & Representatives 2025-2026

During the upcoming elections, taking place between 19 and 22 May, you have the opportunity to vote for student representatives in both the University Council and your Faculty Council. These councils play a vital role in shaping key decisions that affect all students – from the quality of education and sustainability initiatives to student well-being and university policy. When voting for the Faculty Council, you can only choose from candidates within your own faculty. This ensures that your direct academic environment is represented by people who understand your specific context and challenges. For the University Council, however, you're free to vote for any candidate from any faculty – giving you a broader voice in how the university as a whole is governed. Voting is quick, simple, and impactful – with just a single click, you can make your choice in less than a minute. Yet that one click carries weight: it’s your chance to influence meaningful change and support student voices that truly represent your interests. Make your voice heard. Stand for real change. Vote DOPE.
