Civilian Section

The Civilian Section conducts the student union's operational study monitoring.

The Civilian Section consists of members from the civilian programs and performs operational study monitoring at the school, including having its members serve as student representatives in subject and program councils. In the Higher Education Act, Chapter 4, Section 9 states: "The primary purpose of a student union is to monitor and participate in the development of education and the conditions for studies at the university." Law (2009:766). This makes the work of the Civilian Section one of the most important at the school and within the union. Our work is protected by many laws, and the school is required to assist us in various ways to ensure we can carry out our duties.

Furthermore, collaboration is done with the strategic study monitoring work conducted within the student union board through the section representative, vice section representative, and secretary, all of whom are elected at the Civil Section's annual meeting.
