Working in Study groups at BUV

Policy on children's presence in teaching
Each teaching situation is intended and organized only for the students who are accepted and registered on the course. The teaching's demand for students' full attention and participation means that accompanying children are unsuitable. There is therefore no right for students to bring children to a teaching situation.
The policy decision regarding children's presence in teaching has been made by the Institutional Board at the Department of Child and Youth Studies, where the teachers' college, administration and BUV's student council are represented.

Your rights and responsibilities
Here we’ve collected information on some of the most important rights and responsibilities that you have as a student at Stockholm University.
Your rights and responsibilities
Do you want to influence your education? As a student, there are a number of things you can do. You can, for instance, vote in the student union election, join a student or doctoral council, become a student representative or exercise your influence through course evaluations.
Student unions
The student unions are membership organisations with the purpose to represent the common interests of students.
Their important assignment is to guarantee that students are able to influence their education, but they also have a major role in the social aspects of university life: from parliamentary decisions to course planning, to housing and coffee prices.
