The University Collegium of the University of Oulu is, alongside the board, our university’s most influential body. The jurisdiction and assembly of the University Collegium governed by public law is regulated in the Finnish Universities Act. The collegium is responsible, for example, for making decisions pertaining to the board’s number of members and confirming the selection of new members, as well as confirming financial statements and annual reports. In addition, the collegium releases the board from liability and relieves board members from their duty. For the term of student representatives of 2022-23, the Collegium selects the majority of the members from outside the University in the Board. A comprehensive list of the collegium’s statutory duties can be found at the end of this call. The collegium generally assembles few times per semester, on top of which meetings with the Oulu University Collegium’s student group as well as other co-operation will require members to reserve some time.

8 student representatives and 8 personal deputy members are selected to the Collegium for a two-year term. The deputy members attend the student group’s meetings and cover for members in case they are unable to attend. Moreover, the administrative body comprises 8 professors and 8 other staff members, who have personal deputy members in accordance with the University of Oulu’s Education Regulation § 13. The student union’s academic affairs specialist supports the student representatives. Students will receive study credits (2 ECST per term, max 10 ECST / student) for the operation as well as a meeting fee (41,20€ per attended meeting /2021).
We are now looking for two personal deputies to the University Collegium. The Student Council of OYY elects the student representatives of the University Collegium on Sept-Nov.
