Trusteeship

All functions of the Student Union of Jamk University of Applied Sciences are based on the reason the student union exists in the first place – looking after the interests of the student body. Trusteeship, which is what this interest-watching is called, is advocacy work which aims to improve and maintain the students’ standing, education and well-being in the Jamk UAS and in society. The student union trusteeship is based on the JAMK degree regulations, ethical principles and the university of applied sciences law.

JAMKO trusteeship participates in the administrative organs and working groups of the Jamk UAS to ensure that the student’s voice is heard in the decision-making of different units and administrative fields. Additionally, the student union trusteeship supervises the quality of instruction from a student’s point of view. Trusteeship is done through various working groups, by taking a stand and by working together with different actors that have an influence on the position of students. JAMKO also acts to support and counsel its students.

JAMKO trusteeship also looks after the interests of exchange students and international degree students of the Jamk UAS by participating in various international working groups of the university. The student union also makes sure that services and communications are provided in English as well.

The student union informs the student body about current issues in trusteeship under the ‘News’ heading on the front page of its website, in the membership letter, and in social media. If you have questions about trusteeship, or you would like to provide some feedback, do not hesitate to contact us!

Quality of Education

Issues related to the quality and development of education and studies are a part of the student union’s educational policy. Educational policy trusteeship is made salient through participation in various Jamk working groups and intra-institutional forums, by spreading information and by taking a stand on social issues that influence students and education both locally and on the national level.

STUDENT WELL-BEING

The student union’s social policy trusteeship monitors and improves issues related to the comprehensive well-being of students, such as health and study-social benefits, such as the student benefit. Additionally, social policy trusteeship supervises the realization of principles of accessibility, equality, parity and ethics at Jamk from a student perspective.

Have an influence and participate

Giving feedback and reporting the flaws of one’s own study field gives every student a chance to make things better for everyone. Voting at the council of representatives elections, being a representative and participating in working groups give an individual the chance to have an influence, and to accumulate valuable experience.
