Advisory Councils of Degree programmes
The advisory councils are bodies made up of staff and representatives of working life. The purpose of these councils is to develop the relevance and quality of education for working life. The student representative acts as a link between students and staff. They bring out the views and needs of students in Metropolia’s decision-making. Curriculum changes are also discussed in the advisory councils. The term is one calendar year and METKA provides training for the task for the selected student representatives.
The advisory councils meet 1-4 times a year, so the role is suitable for a busier student. It is also possible to earn credits for the activity if you actively participate in the activities of the advisory council and in the training and section meetings organised by METKA.
Applying
The application period for the advisory councils is open from November 1st to November 30th 2024. The selections will be made by Board of METKA at the meeting on 9.12.2024 following the closing date. Applicants will have the opportunity to introduce themselves at the meeting.
Applicants who can serve for the full term are prioritized. A person already graduated is not eligible to be a student representative. If a person graduates during their term of office, they must resign.
