Dear students,
If you want to be politically active at Maastricht University, join NovUM!
We have been a student representation party at UM since 2003. Left-wing, progressive, inNOVative, international, our formula has remained the same! We represent you in the university and faculty councils, and fight for what you believe in. This year, we are proud to have councillors in the University, FASoS, FHML, FPN, FSE, and Law Faculty councils. Together, we create change: from adding coffee machines, to securing better tutor qualifications, to striving to solve the housing crisis by making the university more active on this matter. If you believe in change, join us!
