Student organisations
Being a part of a student union or association is one of the ways you can make your studies at Umeå University more rewarding and fun! Student unions work towards improving the quality of your education and creating a fun leisure time, while student associations connect people with a common interest.
Ställverket is UID's student section within the Umeå Student Union of Nature and Technology (NTK) of Umeå University. The section consists of those who have paid their NTK student membership fee and who study within one of the study programmes or one-year courses at Umeå Institute of Design.
About Ställverket
Through Ställverket, student representatives are elected for the UID Department Board and other strategic working groups at UID. The student representatives take part in the work groups to help develop the school, and to contribute with the students' perspective. The student representatives do not only represent themselves or their class, but all students at UID. In order for them to do so, all UID students should actively aid them with input and issues to bring up at the different group meetings. Ställverket is religiously neutral and politically free.
Ställverket works towards/with:
1. Improving and developing the quality of the educational courses and programmes.
2. A social and friendly studying environment for the students.
3. Monitoring of national/international questions that are important for the students' education.
4. Marketing the members and their education.
