Student Council Faculty of Law
'The atmosphere in the Student Council is warm and friendly. While we work hard to fulfill our roles as student leaders, we also have the opportunity to foster friendships and good working relations with one another.' Joan Duhaylungsod, student member Programme Committee European Law School 2021-2022
What do we do?
The Student Council is an informal body; we represent the students in the representative bodies of our faculty. This means that we offer a platform for discussing issues students face. During our monthly meetings, we share ideas and difficulties experienced in the Council or Committee that we are part of, and address concerns of fellow students. On top of that, we take the opportunity to present these topics to the respective Councils and Committees.
We value your opinion
Do you face issues with a programme, the curriculum or registration, do you consider joining the Student Council, or do you simply want to get in touch with us? Please reach out via mail studentenberaadfdr@maastrichtuniversity.nl.
You are also more than welcome to visit our meetings.
Success stories
To give you an idea of the topics that the Student Council discusses, we summarize the following: the improvement of the Skills Courses, the reorganisation of the UM Legal Practice, the changes made to the Bachelor Programmes, and the course evaluations.
'It is satisfactory to be able to effectively do something with issues that students experience every day and to experience that you are heard.' Puck van Herwerden, vice chair/student member Faculty Council 2021-2022
