Exercise your right to vote and influence which candidates will become members of your local board of studies, academic council, PhD committee and the AU Board. You can cast your vote starting now, and the polls will remain open until Thursday 15 November at 16:00.
Which of your fellow students should be part of the AU board? And who should be on your board of studies and make decisions that affect your degree programme? These are some of the things you can influence when you vote in this year’s university election. This year, students can vote for representatives to the AU Board, the academic councils and the boards of studies. PhD students can also vote for representatives to the PhD committees.
Find your candidate in the list on the election website.

They make a difference
The various councils, boards and committees discuss important topics. The boards of studies, for example, draft academic regulations, ensure follow-up on teaching evaluations and approve exam schedules. On the agenda at the AU Board meetings are issues such as AU’s budget and strategy as well as general development trends in education policy.
