In accordance with the Universities Act, the university administration must also include the representatives of students. Student representatives in administration (so-called ”hallopeds”) are regular students who participate in the work of the University’s committees for academic affairs, faculty councils, education councils, as well as various committees and working groups.
Student representatives are elected by the Student Union Board, and all the student union members can apply for the position. Students are the best experts in everyday matters concerning studies and teaching, and the representation of students is valuable work for a better university. The Student Union trains the student representatives and supports their advocacy work.
Student representative activities are coordinated by the student representatives in charge appointed at each school. If necessary, the activities of student representatives on the level of Aalto University are coordinated by the Student Union’s Specialist in academic affairs.

In the Universities Act, you can pay particular attention to Chapter 1 (General Provisions), Chapter 2 (Research and Teaching), as well as Sections 23-30 in Chapter 3 (structure of a foundation university).
