Introduction
Chemika represents her students at different meetings at KU Leuven. With this, the opinion of the chemika students will be represented so that education will be aligned to the students.
How and by who this is done? Discover that down here!
Structure
Chemika represents the students of the education:
- Bachelor of Chemistry
- Master of Chemistry
- Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Theoretical Chemistry and Computional Modelling
- Bachelor of Biochemistry
- Master of Biochemistry and Biotechnology
- Master of Biophysics, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
These fields of study are represented in the ' permanent education committee '. It includes professors, assistants, PhD students and of course students like us. The PEC covers topics such as the bachelor's or master thesis, our various subjects, feedback on practicals... and much more! They meet about 4 times per academic year.
Student representatives - Chemika's StuReps
Every year, new student representatives get elected who will represent the Chemika students in the (P)ECs, the chemistry departement council and board. You can find their contact details here below.

OOR & Stura
As student of the faculty science, you are also represented in OOR and Stura (Student council of KU Leuven)
OOR is the acronym for the umbrella education council. In this council, students sit down to represent the interests of the exact sciences. Every fortnight, an open meeting is held on topics and points of view that are important to our faculty, called the OOR consultation.
The student council of KU Leuven (STURA) takes care of educational representation at university level. It consists of a mix of students from all disciplines that you can study at KU Leuven. Topics such as changes to the 'Education and Examination Regulations', internationalisation, diversity... STURA's general meeting takes place every two weeks on Friday evenings.
