Student Council

What is the UNYP Student Council?

The UNYP Student Council is the officially elected body that represents all students at the University of New York in Prague. It serves as a vital link between the student body and the university administration, ensuring that student voices are heard and considered in all aspects of campus life.

This dynamic group of students advocates for your interests, organizes events, supports student initiatives, and helps shape the overall student experience. Whether you’re interested in community building, academic feedback, or enhancing student life, the Student Council is here to make a difference.

Getting involved with the UNYP Student Council is a great way to lead, collaborate, and shape campus life. Elections are held annually, with all students voting online to choose their representatives. After the election, the Council assigns leadership roles through an internal voting process. Students who want to contribute outside the election cycle can join as Student Council Associates—a flexible way to support projects without holding office. Weekly meetings are open to all UNYP students with ideas or feedback. Just message the Council to join and start making an impact.
