Why should I candidate?

Your education is important! 

It is important that everything works as it should. The Student Union Malmö is involved in all
decisions made at the university that affect students. The union works daily to make your study time at Malmö University as good as possible.

Get involved and make a difference!

You have the opportunity to influence all issues concerning students. You can run your own ideas and social activities. This means that you and your fellow students’ study time will be filled with more fun things than just exams and studies.

What is the Council (FUM)?

The easiest way to describe it is to say that it is kind of Union parliament, which makes overarching decisions affecting the entire organization. The council meets about three times a term and it is always in the afternoon, starting at 4 pm. 

Who can candidate?

Everyone who is a student at Malmö University, belongs to a faculty that we represent (KS, TS, HS and LS) and is a member of the Student Union Malmö can candidate in the Union election.

Are you applying for the position of president, vice-president or board member with faculty responsibilities? Please note that you must be able to understand and read in Swedish, as public documents must be available in Swedish under Swedish law.

THE CANDIDACY PERIOD IS FROM 29 JANUARY TO 25 FEBRUARY.
