Participation

Participation bodies function as bodies of consultation, advice, information and communication. They represent the interests of staff and students. We have listed some of them for you.

Participation

The education committee (OLC) is an employee participation body just like the Faculty Council, but only for the programme. Each programme therefore has its own OLC, which is also partly made up of students and staff. Like the faculty council, the OLC discusses the OER, but also your teaching and examination schedules. 

The Faculty Council (FR) is the main participation body of the faculty. The council consists of staff and students. The FR has approval and advisory rights and thus acts as a representative of students and staff and as a sounding board for the faculty board. 

Student members are elected via elections for 1 year. 

Leiden University has a co-participation body, the University Council (UR). It is the role of the University Council to keep a critical eye on and advise the Executive Board and in some cases to participate in decisions regarding important matters. The Council has sixteen members, half of whom are elected by and from among the students and half by and from among the staff.
