Extended Application Call: Student Representatives to the UEF Collegiate Body and Faculty Councils

According to the Finnish University Law, The Student Union of the University of Eastern Finland (ISYY), is responsible for electing the Student Representatives to the administrative bodies of UEF, which are UEF Board, UEF Collegiate Body and UEF Faculty Councils.

The positions were announced to be applied on 18th September 2023 and the deadline for applications was 3rd October 12.00 pm. During the first application period we did not receive enough applications for the Collegiate Body or Faculty Council and that is why ISYY Board decided on their meeting 12th October 2023 to extend the application period for these positions. Applications already sent to ISYY in the first application period are taken into account when electing the representatives after the second application period. 

The Student Union of the University of Eastern Finland (ISYY) is now accepting applications for student representative positions to the University Collegiate Body and Faculty Councils of the University of Eastern Finland.

To the UEF Collegiate Body ISYY is searching for:

• eight (8) representatives
• eight (8) deputy representatives

To the all four UEF Faculty Councils ISYY is searching for:

• five (5) representatives
• five (5) deputy representatives

The four Faculties in UEF are:

• Philosophical Faculty
• Faculty of Health Sciences
• Faculty of Social Sciences and Business Studies
• Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology

In UEF administrative bodies Student Representatives promote students’ point of view in the decision making and also bring matters that are important for students into public debate. They also have a right to make proposals and motions in the bodies..

If your first language is not Finnish, UEF will organise interpretation services for you.

As a Student Representative in administration, you can gain valuable experience in administrative and advocacy work and managing matters of common concern. Student Representatives can also earn ECTS’s after the working period.

All applications should be delivered using the electronic application forms to the Student Union’s offices by Monday 30 October 2023 12 pm (noon). Late applications will not be considered. If you have any issues with filling the form, please contact Mikko Aaltonen.
