ARTSrådet (the Arts Council)
ARTSrådet is the Students' council at the faculty of ARTS. We work to solve issues related to student politics, to meet academic and social challenges and challenges related to the study environment, and to protect the rights and general well-being of students at the faculty.
We consider issues of relevance to Arts students at Aarhus University before, during and after their studies. We are the collective student council of the approx. 17 local student councils currently active at Arts.
On this page, you can read more about what we do, who we are, and what we believe. Among other things, you can read about our Artsråd Meetings, the executive comittee, and the local councils at Arts. Should you have any questions, suggestions for new focus areas, etc., please reach out. Use us as your representatives during your studies.
We are an organisation run by volunteers, and we are always looking for new members, so do let us know, if you are interested to know more!
Where does ARTSrådet have their influence?
ARTSrådet is often in contact with the local student councils at our faculty, and we regularly speak with the Boards of studies and the degree programme committees at the faculty. Additionally, we have a representative in the School and centre forum for School of Communication and Culture.
Furthermore, we represent our fellow students of Arts in meetings with a variety of Guidance and Counselling bodies, as well as in the Student Council of Aarhus University. We also facilitate dialogue and discussion between the local councils and the necessary coordinators.
Lastly, vi elect representatives for the following committees:
- The Academic Council of Arts
- The Committees under nthe Student Council of Aarhus Univeristy: AUPUS, LUPUS, SUUS, CUUL and IC
- The Library Committee
Among other important topics, ARTSrådet, in particular, discuss educational politics, study environment and student welfare. As a student at Arts and as a student council, ARTSrådet is a tool to make your voice heard at the faculty, and a way of reaching your fellow students to discuss experience of being a student at Aarhus University.
