What is SRVU?

SRVU informs, joins the discussion and participates in activism. The student union has been committed to housing, welfare and education for VU students since 1947. As a board member you organize protests and events, you enter into dialogue with various local and national parties and you oversee everything that happens within SRVU.

In addition to campaigning, SRVU is the spider in the web in the VU studentdok. SRVU connects study associations, supports student initiatives and promotes an active student life.

SRVU also offers a number of services. For example, we help students with all their questions through our student desk, we provide students with free legal assistance, we have a exchange market and a menstrual cabinet.
