Vote (16-19 May) Join NovUM

Dear students,

If you want to be engaged for student welfare at Maastricht University, join NovUM!
We have been a student representation party at UM since 2003. Progressive, inNOVative, international, our formula has remained the same: we represent you in the university and faculty councils, and strive for what you believe in.

This year, we are proud to be the only ones representing students in every single council. After a surge in support in the 2021 elections, we became the 2nd most popular party in the faculties, and the 3rd most popular party in the whole UM.  Together, we strive for change: from improving healthcare and administrative support to international students, to making UM provide and strive for more accessible housing, to implementing a sustainability minor in each and every faculty. If you believe in a better UM, join us!

Learn more about how you can get involved (check out the menu at the top of our website!) and our vision.
