Student representatives to the Department Board are selected by the student union, Rindi, at the beginning of each academic year.

Student Representatives:

Substitutes:

Programme Councils are held twice a semester and are summoned by the Director of Studies (for the major) and Programme Coordinators (for the minors). Their purpose is to evaluate courses and the structure of the programmes, improve the pedagogics, as well as content of the subjects in order to ensure continuity and quality. Programme Coordinators bring with them subject specific issues raised in the Programme Council to the weekly Operational Meetings. Programme Councils must include Student Representatives. Representatives for the Council are elected through a process managed by the Department, early in the beginning of each new academic year.
