FACULTY STUDENT COUNCIL
OF THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS
VRIJE UNIVERSITEIT AMSTERDAM
General Information
The Faculty Student Council (FSR) of School of Business and Economics (SBE) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is an important body within the faculty. The FSR is the official consultative body for students and represents them at faculty level. There is participation in the policy of the faculty through which the interests of students can be realized. In addition, the FSR may provide solicited and unsolicited advice to the dean and the education director, and the council has the right to information, the right to hear and the right to training (so that its duties can be performed better).
As FSR of the 2020-2021 academic year, we therefore focus on our students. To make optimal use of our options, it is important to know what is going on among students and how we can make a difference together. We have the task of representing the students at faculty level and therefore find a good relationship with students very important. There are anchored rights and obligations for the FSR and have advisory rights to almost everything. In addition, we also have a right of consent.
The FSR consists of seven student members. The student members are elected annually in May via faculty-wide elections. Every registered SBE student can apply for a place in the FSR. Students must apply for a position within the student council by submitting a motivation letter and CV. The FSR makes a selection of potential candidates who will then be invited for an interview.
