Lund University Students’ Unions and the Student Ombudsman 

Does something about your studies feel strange or unfair? Do you have questions about what is and what is not acceptable at the University? 

There is a student union for every subject area at Lund University. You can turn to them for general questions or to report a problem with the teaching on your course. The unions work closely with the Student Ombudsman, who can give advice on issues such as inadequate information about courses, problems with assessment or suspicions of cheating.
