Co-governance

The GSb ensures that your voice is heard at your university. Co-governance is one of the most important forms of student participation at the University of Groningen, Hanze University of Applied Sciences and other universities. The GSb is represented on the faculty councils of the Faculties of Behavioural and Social Sciences, Arts, Law, and Science & Engineering at the University of Groningen.

The GSb representatives are your direct contacts for all matters concerning your faculty. Whether it concerns the quality of lectures, the availability of study spaces, the budget, or the rules surrounding exams: our council members are ready to bring your concerns, ideas, or comments to the table during meetings with the Executive Board and the faculty boards.
