Voxpop: If I say Student Council, what do you say? And what about your degree programme council?
Omnibus took a trip around campus to find out how familiar the students at AU actually are with the Student Council and the degree programme councils.
Louise Watson, Law, tenth semester.
"The Student Council safeguards the students' interests. But I don’t really know about my own degree programme council - I really ought to find out more."
Henrik Lundorff, Political Science, tenth semester.
"I say Heidi Klokker and Denmark's biggest Friday bar. Also, I think they have been good at drawing attention to the structural changes that the study progress reform entails. Here the Student Council has clearly led the way, and that’s something that the staff here could have learned from. My degree programme council is the Political Science council."
Carina Cupit, Molecular Biology, third semester.
"I know some of the members of the Student Council. For example, I live on the same corridor as Allan Vesterlund, politically he is pretty red, so I am pleased to have him as a representative. But I don’t know anything about my own degree programme council."
Esben Odgaard, Latin, tenth semester.
"Uhmm … I don't know very much about them, just that they look after the students' interests. That’s a good question about my own degree programme council, I have forgotten their name, but there is one council for all of the classical programmes."
Anne Loft, Law, eleventh semester.
"I don't really know much about the Student Council or my degree programme council, but then again I don’t spend much time on that kind of thing."
