Faculty Students Council

What is the Faculty Student Council (WRS)? 

The WRS is the primary body of the Students Union at the faculty level. The scope of its activities is very broad. At their respective faculties, WRS members are involved in organizing events (trainings, integrations, trips, initiation ceremonies, faculty days, and many others) and providing opinions on changes in the regulations or educational programs. Typically, the WRS consists of several members who divide their tasks among themselves to ensure the most efficient execution. Sometimes, Faculty Students Councils collaborate with each other to create larger-scale events. It is worth noting that each Faculty Student Council has its own distinctive projects. It is best to familiarize yourself with the activities of your WRSby visiting its webpage on Facebook.

What are the responsibilities of WRS members?

Organizing cultural, integration, and scientific events. Maintaining a constant dialogue with the Faculty authorities. Proposing new initiatives and implementing them. Ensuring the improvement of the quality of education at the Faculty. And above all, responding promptly to current issues faced by students at the Faculty. This is an active work throughout the year!
