About the AUC Student Council

The AUC Student Council represents the interests of all students across academics, well-being and other aspects of student life. They act as a bridge between the student body, AUC management, faculty and partners such as the UvA, VU and DUWO.

Situated under the Science Faculty Student Council of VU Amsterdam, the AUC Student Council has legal rights to ensure students have a voice in how the college is run, including approval, advisory, and initiative rights. Details of these rights are outlined in the Wet op het Hoger Onderwijs en Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (WHW) and the VU Nadere Regeling Medezeggenschap.

Each year, the council develops a policy plan, communicates through its own channels, and holds regular office hours to stay connected with students.
