Student Ombudsperson
The Student Representative is a student service provided by the Lund University Student Union (LUS). This means that the help you receive takes place on your terms and with your interests taken care of.
The Student Ombudsman guides and assists students and unions in their work with student affairs. This may involve inadequate or poor information about courses, questions regarding examinations and their marking, and allegations of cheating or plagiarism. Students are also supported in matters regarding discrimination and the work environment – both physical and psychosocial. The service offered by the Student Ombudsman can include everything from information and advice to informal investigations – about what has happened – to acting as an agent or mediator in contact with the university.
It is up to you as a union or student whether you only want to note a problem or choose to move forward with it. The student representative never pushes a matter forward unless requested.
As a student, it is always a good idea to turn to your union first when you have encountered a study-related problem. This is because they have close cooperation and good contacts at both departmental and faculty level.
