Student Council
The Student Council is the central body for student representation at the VUB. The elected members defend your interests and appoint the student representatives for other councils.
International Student Platform
The ISP works with the Student Council and STUVO Council, representing the interests of international students, ranging from the availability of language courses and housing to activities on campus
STUVO Council for Student Services
Aside from a Student Council, each university in Flanders must also have a STUVO Council. Contrary to other schools, the Council at VUB is made up solely of students. As a matter of fact the representatives in the Student Council and the Council for Student Services are the same.
The STUVO Council represents the policy and the representation of VUB students in terms of student facilities: food, housing, social services, medical and psychological services, transport and student activities. That means they are the policymakers and manage de VUB-budget concerning student services.
They also advise on partnerships VUB creates with organisations providing interesting student services. For example Publiq, offering discounts with your student card when you want to go to the cinema, theatre, expositions, etc in Brussels, Flanders and Europe!
Faculty Council
Why does the Faculty Council do?

Faculty Council
What can you expect as a student representative in the faculty council?
As a representative in the Faculty Council, you help the university to get better. Not only that, it’s also a great learning opportunity and interesting experience, which will definitely come to use in your professional life: taking part in meeting, debating, working together as a team, learning how a university works, and so much more. It’s a nice way to meet some new people as well.
The Faculty Councils meet at least 4 times a year, and a meeting is usually 2 hours long. As a student representative, it’s important to be present and actively take part in these meetings. This means:
- Prepare for the meeting (prepare the agenda and useful documents)
- Add topics to the agenda yourself
- What’s your personal opinion on the topics? If necessary, reach an agreement on the students opinion with your fellow student representatives
- Take part in discussions and be the voice of students
- Get back to the students with follow-up information
Study Programme Committee
What does the Committee do?
Almost everything in your study programme is discussed in the Study Programme Committee. Think about the vision, contents, goals, programme, study materials,... The voice of our students is absolutely essential in this discussion.
Recent realisations
- Certain deadlines regarding the master's thesis in the Archivistics programme have been adjusted following complaints about feasibility
- In the first master year of the psychology programme, the curriculum was adjusted to spread/reduce the pressure.
- Pharmacology subjects have been expanded and spread over more years to build in-depth ready knowledge (Pharmaceutical Sciences)
- Feedback culture is installed in the Agogical Sciences course.
- Electives arescheduled as a priority in timetables so they don't conflict with the other courses (Sciences and Bioengineering)
Study Programme Committee
Who's in the Study Programme Committee?
