Are you interested in affecting the future of the University of Oulu and developing your strategical competence, and can you express yourself clearly and validate your arguments? The Student Union of the University of Oulu seeks two student representatives for the University Board of Directors for the term 2020–2021, and you might be just right for the job.

As a member of the University Board of Directors, you get to decide on our university’s actions and goals for economy, strategy and principles for guidance as well as the number of student admissions. The Board decides on e.g. the annual budget that guides the university’s actions and the principles according to which the money is distributed to the faculties.

What are the requirements for the student representative in the board of directors? Preparing for and participating in the board’s meetings, command of meeting techniques, experience as a student in the University of Oulu, ideas for improving the University of Oulu, co-operative and organizational skills, show initiative and active attitude, argumentation skills, contact with other student representatives in the administration as well as with the Student Union.

Note that the language of the meetings is mainly Finnish.

Selection procedure For each term, the Student Council nominates the required number of student representatives in University Board of Directors. The size and relative strength of the Board of Directors are defined by the University Collegium. Student representatives do not have deputy members.

An open interview session is organized for the candidates in the Student Council meeting on October 1, 2019. The interviews are organized in such way that the candidates cannot be present in each other’s interviews. The student representatives are selected in Student Council meeting on October 15, 2019.
