The Student Parliament

The Student Parliament is the student’s of The University of Bergen’s political organization. It is stated in Norwegian Law that every educational institution should have a democratically elected student body, that make decisions on behalf of the students. We are to be consulted in all matters concerning the students, and we also suggest relevant political resolutions.

The Student Parliament meets once a month and consists of a total of 31 representatives, 24 of which are elected during the student elections. The remaining seven are faculty representatives elected through annual meetings on the faculties.

Liberal List – for Freedom and Flexibility in Studies

Liberal List is founded on a liberal view of humanity, emphasizing individual freedom and the ability to make one’s own choices. The University of Bergen should be a place for free thought, innovative research, and personal growth. We strive for an inclusive academic environment that values diversity and allows students the flexibility to shape their own education.

UiB must implement solutions that provide more freedom of choice, whether in study programs, exam formats, or student welfare. Students should have greater influence over how they learn and are assessed. A great university expands opportunities, not restrictions.

Liberal List has been part of the current Student Parliament, advocating for students’ rights and interests. We see the need for a pragmatic, liberal, and environmentally conscious list that prioritizes student freedom. Cuts to study programs and reduced academic support weaken education quality—this must be addressed.

Our goal is to ensure that all students at UiB have the best possible conditions to succeed, both during and after their studies. We will strengthen student rights and work towards a university that promotes individual development and academic freedom.

    Ensure that all UiB students can get a good and secure job after completing their education.

  • Strengthen student volunteerism, student sports, and student bars.

Moderat liste gruppebilde

Moderate List is the student party for all liberal, conservative and non-socialist students at the University of Bergen.

Our three main issues are:

  1. Working to ensure that all UiB students can secure a good and safe job after graduation.
  2. Strengthening student volunteerism, student sports, and student bars.
  3. Creating more study spaces and addressing the shortage of available study spaces during the exam period.

Our first core issue is working to ensure that all UiB students can secure a good and safe job after graduation. To achieve this, we propose to adapt the content of bachelor’s programs to the needs of the labor market. We will also propose to create more internships, and make internship opportunities available in as many study programs as possible. Additionally, we will propose to abolish the employer’s tax for students and recent graduates to make it cheaper to hire us, thereby strengthening our job opportunities.

Our second core issue is to strengthen student volunteerism, student sports, and student bars. To achieve this, we propose to increase support for student volunteerism. We will also work to make student sports and student volunteerism accessible to everyone, including students with disabilities. Additionally, we will work to ensure that student bars are allowed by the university to have outdoor seating where you can enjoy drinks.

Our third core issue is to create more study spaces and address the shortage of available study spaces during the exam period. We believe that UiB’s study spaces should primarily be for UiB students.

We, The Social Democratic List, represent all the different faculties at UiB in the student elections of 2025. We strive for an inclusive and fair academic life where freedom, equality, and solidarity reflect our core values. We want a university where all students, regardless of background, have equal opportunities and conditions to complete their education in a pleasant and sustainable learning environment.

We will ensure better digital training for lecturers, increased interdisciplinarity, improvements in seminar teaching quality, increased financial support for students, more centrally located student housing, and proper accommodations for students and staff with disabilities. The Social Democratic List stands for an inclusive and fair student environment, where all students should have the opportunity to succeed. We aim to influence student politics in a direction that ensures good welfare services, increased student support, and a sustainable university.

In this year’s election, we are particularly focusing on two issues: improving mental health services for students and expanding the number of available study spaces at the University of Bergen.

Through the Student Health and Well-being Survey (SHoT) from 2022 and 2023, we see a concerning trend in students’ mental health. This development requires concrete measures that go beyond the aftermath of the pandemic. An effective system for mental health is fundamental for students’ well-being and their ability to complete their studies on time. We will collaborate with Sammen, UiB, and the county municipality to strengthen student welfare. This means more personal follow-up and increased investments in local initiatives to improve mental health support at the university.

Have you ever arrived early on campus only to find that all study spaces in Bergen city center are already full? The lack of attractive study spaces is a recurring problem during exam periods in UiB’s central study areas. We thus need more study spaces, and that is exactly what we are working for.

The Left Alliance

    Cheaper and more available literature

  • More and better internships

Venstrealliansen gruppebilete

The Left Alliance is the party for those who want a fair and green student politics.

We believe that the most important thing to ensure a fair student everyday life is to work for cheaper and more accessible study materials. In times of high costs, we must remain vigilant to prevent significant economic disparities among students. There must be initiatives for reusing study materials to lower expenses.

Students need safe and good internship placements to prepare for working life. We want to strengthen the internship offerings at the University of Bergen so that students gain relevant work experience before entering the job market. Internships at UiB should be quality-assured and guided.

UiB has decided that it will be a climate-neutral university. The Left Alliance will hold UiB accountable to this promise. For a climate-neutral university, we need good buildings, and it should be easy for students and staff to make green choices.
