Getting involved with student unions
Episode 4
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
At Lund University, there are nine subject-based student unions that play a pivotal role in politics and student rights at the University, allowing students to get involved and have their say on how the University is run. Through the unions, students are represented in decision- and policy-making boards that concern education at every level within Lund University. And the strength and impact of this representation in good governance has been recognised: the 2026 QS Sustainability ranking gave Lund University top marks in Governance and Equality, both key indicators that contributed to our ranking as the #1 university in the world for sustainability.But what's it like to be active in a student union at Lund? In this episode, join host Leonie Feick (a current student studying the Bachelor's in Biomedicine) and guests Thea Norris (also studying the Bachelor's in Biomedicine) and Veronika Kletečková (studying the Master's in European Studies) as the three discuss their involvement in their respective student unions. Together they explain the role of student unions at Lund, what their responsibilities are, their perspective as international students engaging with the unions, and why it's so important that all students take an interest in their unions and have their say.
