KSU Today
About the Council
The Kunsill Studenti Universitarji (University Students’ Council) is the oldest national student union in Europe.
Albeit the fact that years have passed by since the day when KSU was founded in 1901, KSU’s aims remain unaltered. Your contribution as a University student is undeniably fundamental for the betterment of the University and society in general. KSU is founded on the ideology that life at the University of Malta is much more than simply academia but is the ideal forum where students can engage in active participation. Students should be given the opportunity to express their ideas regarding pertinent issues.
Aims
KSU finds its roots in a set of fundamental objectives on which the organisation was founded.
Empowering Students
To give a voice and empower students in order to encourage them to both seek opportunities whereby they are able to contribute towards society, whilst also providing them with such opportunities.
Democracy and Transparency
To work in favour of democracy and of transparency in education and to eliminate all forms of inequality and/or negative discrimination and/or any form of unjust obstacle to a complete higher education experience.
Consultation
To always consult with other stakeholders; including student organisations, the University of Malta, the Government, Unions and other student representatives, teachers and lecturers.
Autonomy
When reasonably practicable and possible, to coordinate its activities with those of other organisations without sacrificing its autonomy.
Student Body
To always seek to meet the general interest of all the student body through its behaviour and decisions.
