Students have a significant impact on the functioning of the university and play a key role in co-creating the academic environment. Here are some aspects in which students have an impact on the university:
1 Participation in decisions: Students have the opportunity to participate in decision-making processes at the university. Through representation in the student government, participation in committees, faculty councils or other university bodies, students have the opportunity to express their opinions, requests and recommendations on various aspects of the university, such as curricula, academic policies, infrastructure or budgets.
3 Collaboration with lecturers: Students have the opportunity to establish direct collaboration with lecturers and academics. Through consultations, research projects, theses or participation in seminars, students have the chance to interact with experts in their fields and develop their skills. This interaction fosters the exchange of knowledge and deepens understanding in the field.
4 Feedback and evaluations: Students have the opportunity to express their feedback on the quality of teaching and other aspects of the university. Students' evaluations, opinions and suggestions are an important source of information for universities to use to improve educational processes, improve infrastructure or make changes to curricula. HEIs often conduct surveys and consultations to collect students' opinions and incorporate them into the improvement process.
5 Reputation of the university: The success of a university often depends on the success and achievements of its students. The high academic standards, social engagement and academic achievements of students contribute to the university's reputation and prestige. Students act as ambassadors for the university and influence its image in the academic community and society.
All these aspects testify to the significant impact students have on the functioning of the university. Their activity, commitment and contribution contribute to the creation of a dynamic, inspiring and developing academic environment.
