Student Council
The FSE Student Council was first introduced as a central body of student representation at Maastricht University’s Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) in autumn 2019. It is composed of the student representatives to the different official bodies of the faculty, i.e. the student members to the different departments’ Educational Programme Committees (EPCs), the six student members of the Faculty Council, and the two Student Assessors to the Faculty Board. Moreover, the Student Council closely collaborates with FSE student representatives in the departments’ Management Teams and the University Council as well as with the Student Councils and Student Assessors from the other five UM faculties.
The main aim of the Student Council is to facilitate exchange and collaboration among the student representatives both between the EPCs of the different departments and study programmes (horizontally) and between the student representatives on the department level and the student representatives on the faculty level (vertically). What is more, the Student Council serves as a platform that better ties student representation to the diversity of challenges that students experience at FSE. Finally, the Student Council also serves as a go-to-point for members of FSE staff when discussing plans or seeking input on specific issues that affect several or all departments and programmes.
Key aspects of our work are: sharing knowledge and enabling better transitions between academic years, archiving documents, enhancing the legitimacy of student representation at FSE and, most importantly, making sure that your voice is heard on all levels!
