Are you a law student and have completed your propaedeutic phase? Do you have a passion for student life? Then you’ve come to the right place! The board of the Groninger Student Union is looking for students with legal knowledge to join the board. You will serve as the link between the board and the Legal Support Center, helping to raise awareness of student matters among the general public.
The Legal Support Center is the advisory agency of the GSb – by and for students. We assist people from all over the country with questions about, among other things, education law, general contract law, tax law, and even inheritance law. The work of a Supporter includes answering phone calls, providing advice, and writing objections, appeals, and letters. The support center holds weekly meetings on Wednesdays from three to five at the GSb office. As a board member for student rights, it will be your task to oversee this.
In addition, you are the contact point for the secretary of the Support Point for Renting in Groningen. The GSb nominates a secretary, and you must together represent the interests of the GSb there. Support Point for Renting in Groningen is a legal support center established by the GSb and the Municipality of Groningen for all matters related to renting. Annually, it provides legal assistance to hundreds of tenants and landlords.
Additionally, you will serve as the legal anchor for the board. We can rely on you to dissect legal documents, provide an overview of issues students encounter, and assist in organizing necessary actions to protect student rights.
All of this will take up about six to ten hours per week. For this position, you should have strong legal and analytical skills. Experience in a committee or board is a plus but not a requirement. Are you the enthusiastic, motivated student who enjoys helping others? Apply now by sending your motivation letter and CV to bestuur@groningerstudentenbond.nl!
Become part of the Groninger Student Union Research Bureau!
The GSb Research Bureau conducts independent research with a high societal impact in a non-academic environment. Our research is read by the leaders of both the University of Groningen, the Hanze University of Applied Sciences, and the municipality of Groningen. The GSb’s press officer also ensures that the research receives local attention. Joining the Research Bureau allows you to develop various skills, and it looks good on your resume.
Throughout an academic year, a small group of students will conduct research on matters concerning students. Last year, this involved a mixed-method study on student well-being, where the results were compared to a similar study from the GSb Research Bureau in 2017. Another well-known study is our 2015 research on student housing. The research revealed that international students in Groningen pay on average 75% more in rent. This research also received national media coverage at the time.
Each year, one study is conducted, and you are expected to remain with the Research Bureau for at least one year. There is approximately one meeting per week, and research is conducted outside of these meetings. Apart from pursuing a degree in the social sciences, there are no further requirements.
