Nomination for the Student Parliament

Until Thursday 9 September, you can nominate yourself as a candidate to be a representative in the Student Parliament at Volda University College.

The nomination period is underway and you as a student at Volda University College (HVO) have the opportunity to gain good political experience and influence your own everyday study.

One year - seven meetings

The Student Parliament has 11 permanent and 11 deputy representatives who are to be elected after the nomination period is over. Two are elected from each of the four departments at HVO, in addition to three independent representatives who are not locked into any department. These serve as equalization mandates.

The representatives sit in one academic year, where seven meetings they attend are arranged, approximately one meeting a month from September to April. Of course, there will also be social activities and gatherings. It should be fun to participate in student democracy!

The Student Parliament is the place where you get the best opportunity to change your everyday study.
