Added value as a student representative
Participate in the Advocacy Forum
The Impact Forum is a meeting place for all student representatives. It gives you the chance to meet other student representatives where you can share both experiences and ideas with each other, but also valuable tools to develop in your roles as student representatives. We organize a total of 5 Influence Forums per academic year. Information and invitations are sent out to each student representative via email well in advance of each meeting.
Get merit points for your mission
If you are a member of SöderS, you can get a certificate for your assignment as a student representative and merit points. The merit points are to be used in the application for study abroad at Södertörn University and will increase your chances of getting the exchange place you want.
You can find more information and submit your application for credit points here →
Increase your involvement in key bodies
When you take on the role of student representative, you will be appointed to a body at local level, i.e. a subject or program council. It is also possible to extend your involvement and become a student representative in central bodies at the university. The prerequisite is that you have been a student representative for one semester at local level and have an interest in getting involved in the issues discussed in the specific central body.
Get paid for your mission
If you are a member of the Student Union, you are entitled to a fee for your role as a student representative. In order for us to pay you the correct fee, you need to fill in a time reporting form no later than 30 days after the end of the semester, indicating the number of meetings and chairing decisions you attended.
