Vacancies
Are you looking for something to do in addition to your studies? Then becoming active in one of our working groups or committees is a great option. You can gain a lot of knowledge and also support many students in Groningen. You will have the opportunity to work within a team of enthusiastic students from different studies. Within this team you will not only have a great time, but you will also acquire skills such as planning and organising. For more reasons to become active at the Groninger Student Union look at our list (The five advantages of being a GSb member) or look at the list below to see which vacancies are currently available. If you want to apply directly, send a short motivation and your resume to intern@groningerstudentenbond.nl or you can contact us as well for more information.
GSb’s Action is a group of students dedicated to on the ground, real activism. We are engaged in creating ideas to fight for student-related issues. Apart from developing close relationships within the activist community and creating change in Groningen, you will also be involved with the LSVb’s (national student union) actions.
What you can expect:
- Postering
- Bannering
- Protests
- Working times depend on the current campaign
- Weekly or bi-weekly meetings
If you are very passionate about activism and are willing to lead the committee, we are in search of an Action team coordinator. The only requirement is that you must be fluent in Dutch, as this requires a lot of collaboration with the national student union, which conducts weekly meetings in Dutch.
What you can expect:
- 3 hours of fixed working time
- Leading meetings

The Education Team is formed of like-minded students that not only care about the quality of education at the RUG and Hanze, but also the way politics can influence that. The GSb has close ties with co-governance bodies at both the RUG and Hanze, especially in the past year when we’ve made the move to rediscover our co-governance roots after a 10-year hiatus, which we believe gives us a direct seat at the table when it comes to lobbying for student rights. During the election season, the Education Team was behind our carefully crafted election programmes, where we championed matters such as social safety, mental health, advocating for more third spaces for students and ensuring that democracy is sufficiently upheld. Thanks to their efforts, we were able to reintegrate into co-governance at the RUG Faculty level.
If you also care about the quality of education at your institution and student well-being and want to work closely with co-governance bodies in reforming and drafting policy that benefits the student body, then a spot on this team would give you a chance to achieve this! Furthermore, this past year, we’ve organised our very successful Pub Quiz, where we offered students free home-cooked dinner and a fun time. Interested? Apply by sending an email to intern@groningerstudentenbond.nl!
The Nait Soez’n is the independent opinion magazine of the Groningen Student Union. The editorial team consists of ten members from different corners of the student community, who write an article for the physical editions of the Nait Soez’n twice a year. The editorial team meets sporadically to discuss articles and other matters in an accessible and friendly way. For now, Nait Soez’n is only availably in Dutch. Hopefully in the future we can offer an English translation online! Stay tuned!
Do you want to fight for student-friendly policy at your RUG Faculty or Hanze School? The GSb is looking for students who would like to represent the student union at the upcoming council elections.
