Every year in May Student Council elections are held at the UvA. As a UvA student, you get to choose the council members with your vote. Student Councils represent the interests of UvA students. They contribute to the debate on key issues such as educational quality, digitalisation, student well-being and mental health, student housing, social safety, diversity and inclusion and sustainability.

Student representation at the UvA

Student Councils represent the interests of UvA students. The Central Student Council (CSR) represents the entire UvA. Furthermore, each faculty has its own Faculty Student Council (FSR). This means you get to vote twice.
