They introduce you to the UAS and its learning environments and help you with questions concerning studies and student life. The peer tutors organize activities to help students to get to know each other and coordinate channels of communication within the student group.

Class Reps 

Each bachelor student group at LAB selects a class representative from among themselves. The class rep acts as a contact person between the students and the degree managers as well as the teachers. The class rep participates in regular meetings with the degree managers, communicates student feedback directly to tutor teachers and degree managers, and encourages students to take part in developing activities—for example, by providing course feedback.

The class rep system facilitates interaction between students and education. It enables two-way communication on important matters and offers students the opportunity to be heard and influence decisions. Read more: Student Feedback Channels | eLAB.
