As a democratic organisation we follow structures and processes.
Read more about our organisation down below.
A student union is a student association run by, and with students. To get what is called the Union Status, the association needs to be submitted to the university where it operates and a decicion will be made by the board of the university. If the association receives the Union Status, it is also assigned the task of representing the students vis-à-vis the university in various groups, committees and bodies. We at the Student Union of Borås are thus tasked, with Union Status, to represent the students' cause inside the University of Borås.
The University of Borås has a document that describes how many student unions the university has chosen to sign an agreement with and which can thus gain Union Status. In Borås, the Union Status can only be assigned to one (1) student association, which as of the next couple of years is the Student Union of Borås.
Studentkåren i Borås (SiB) är en politisk studentsammanslutning med säte i Borås. Studentkåren är religiöst-och partipolitiskt obunden. Vi finns till för dig som studerar vid Högskolan i Borås under deras studietid och stöttar dig genom plugget.
The council (FUM) is the Student Union of Borås' highest decision-making body and makes decisions on, among other things union board, budget, the association's overall governing document as well as the student representatives..
FUM is the organisation's main strategic body.
Information will be posted shortly.
The union board consists of the presidium and representatives from our sections. The board is the highest decision-making body between council meetings and is the council's executive body. The union board is also tasked with following up and implementing the decisions made by the council as well as preparing the matters to be dealt with in the council, and is responsible for SiB's ongoing work.
As a student, you can sit on the union board alongside your studies, without working full-time! Some full-time workers (presidium) sit on the union board, they are either on study break or have finished their studies. The union board is elected annually by the members of the Student Union in Borås and works from July 1st to June 30th.

The student union in Borås has three subsidary bodies which are linked to three corresponding faculties at the University of Borås. The sections are a good place to start with influencing your education and student life. During the introduction, the student buddies come from the three sections and the color of their shirts shows which section they belong to.

Under the Student Union of Borås we have two committees, and these are Student Sports and the PHD Committee. They are not connected to any section, but students with a particular interest in sports or who are studying at postgraduate level can gather here. Historically, there have been several different committees. Do you think there is someone missing? Get in touch with the union board!
Kommittéen för alla som studerar på forskar nivå. Studenter på forskarnivå kallas för doktorander och har annorlunda förutsättningar gentemot studenter på kandidat- och masternivå. De har allt som oftast en doktorandanställning, och är alltså både studneter och anställda samtidigt.
Kommittéen för alla som gillar att sporta. Studentsport träffas en gång i veckan och utför olika sporter, fotboll, volleyboll och massa annat skoj! Ingen föranmälan krävs och eventen är öppna för alla medlemmar i Studentkåren i Borås.
Håll utkik på kårens facebooksida, där publiceras evenemang med alla info du behöver!
