NGO Tallinn University Student Union

The main function of the Student Union is to represent and protect the interests of Tallinn University students within the University and at the local and national level. In order to do this in a democratic way, different bodies and subunits have been formed. One of these is the Representative Council, which is the highest representative and decision-making body of Tallinn University students. It’s made up of 27 active students, who contribute to the development of the university through working together to find solutions to the problems and concerns of their fellow students. In addition to the general Representative Council, every institute, college and academy has their own Student Council which protects the interests of their students in academic matters (e.g. curriculum development, solving problems related to the studies, organizing academic events etc.) and organize various events (e.g. institute/college freshmen initiation, Christmas party, Best Professor elections etc.).
