The candidates have been announced! Cast your vote for one of your fellow students for the programme committee now. Together with several lecturers from your study programme, these students work within the programme committee to improve the quality of your education. You decide who will speak on your behalf, so your vote is important! Voting is open up to and including 9 October.

Elections will take place for the following thirteen programme committees:

• Area Studies
• Arts, Literature and Media
• Asian Studies
• Classics and Ancient Civilizations
• Duitse Taal en Cultuur
• Film- en Literatuurwetenschap
• Filosofie
• Franse Taal en Cultuur
• Griekse en Latijnse Taal en Cultuur
• International Relations
• International Studies
• Kunst- en Cultuurwetenschappen

Elections are not required for the other programme committees, as not enough students are standing as candidates.
