Governance and participation

As a student, you can get involved in the University's governance by participating in its governing bodies or becoming a member of the Student Council and the various student delegations. You can also send your proposals and demands to your representatives and give your opinion on your professors' teaching. You are part of the UPC.

Student Council (CdE)

The Student Council is the University's highest student representation body. It works to guarantee students' rights and promotes actions to improve university life, in academic terms and outside the classroom.



Student delegations

Every school has a student delegation that provide students with information and support, promote student participation in the governing bodies, act to ensure the quality of teaching and schools' proper functioning and organise leisure and cultural activities. 


Online teaching surveys

In the online teaching surveys you can evaluate your professors' teaching activity and the subjects you have taken. Your opinion will help to improve teaching and how subjects are organised and carried out.
