The Stockholm University Student Union (SUS) (Swedish: Stockholms Universitets Studentkår) is one of Sweden's largest student organisation, with about 10,000 members as of November 2024. Stockholm University Student Union was founded in 1883.
The purpose clause of Stockholm University Student Union (SUS) (Chapter 1, § 2 of the Stockholm University Student Union statutes) establishes that:[1]
- The primary purpose of the Student Union is to monitor and contribute to the development of education and the conditions for studies at Stockholm University.[1]
- The Student Union shall safeguard, promote, and protect students’ interests, particularly concerning educational and social matters related to studies.[1]
- The Student Union shall provide services to its members and promote a strong sense of community among them.[1]
Purpose and Context of the Organisational Plan The organisational plan is one of the Student Union Council's (FUM) directives to the Student Union Board. The purpose of the organisational plan is to outline SUS's work at a comprehensive level by distributing mandates and authority to ensure clear accountability. The relationship between SUS's decision-making and operational functions, as well as its representation of students and doctoral candidates, is regulated in separate directives.[1]
Organisation
The Stockholm University Student Union is a democratic membership organisation. It is controlled by a student council, which all members of the student union can vote for in the Representative Assembly Elections.[2]
Student Union Council (FUM)
The Student Union Council (FUM) is the highest decision-making body of Stockholm University Student Union.[2] It makes decisions on, among other things, SUS's three-year operational plan, framework budget, and the issues SUS will prioritize. FUM also elects the Stockholm University Student Union Board and the Stockholm University Student Union's Presidium composed of the chairman and vice-chairman. The 35 students elected to FUM meet four times each academic year.[2]
