Your voice. Your university. Your influence.

Would you like to influence what it means to be a student in Malmö? It’s time for Union elections – and Student Union Malmö is looking for committed students who want to make a difference by candidating for the Union Council.

As a member of the Union Council, you will have the opportunity to influence decisions that affect students and shape the Union’s work. This is where the big decisions are made: student conditions, the quality of education, and how student life can be improved. In short, this is where you can really make your voice heard.

Getting involved in the Union Council is also a chance to develop and gain valuable experience. You will gain insight into democratic work, meeting techniques, and decision-making—experiences that are useful both during your studies and in your future working life.

Do you have ideas you are passionate about? In the union, you can pursue your own ideas—for students, by students. Whether you want to improve the study environment, strengthen student influence, or create a more inclusive student life, there is room for your commitment.
