Help Us Make ITU Better 
On October 18 you will all receive a survey from the Ministry of Higher Education regarding the study environment, learning environment and general well being at ITU. The results from this survey shape the foundation for our work towards making ITU even better.
 
Work is already underway with the Study Environment Assessment Action Plan 2021-2024, but we still need you to tell us how you feel about your life at ITU, especially considering a turbulent 2020 and 2021. 

You will find the survey in your e-boks.

The Effect on Students of 30 mandatory ECTS Every Semester
Students at ITU are automatically signed up for 30 ECTS every semester. If a student needs to study less than the required 30 ECTS, they have to provide ITU with a Doctor's Note.

This practice only takes place at ITU, so the Student Council wants to know more about your experiences with this requirement.

We need your input to discuss this policy with the different boards of the university, so we can frame the problem accurately and find a solution that works for everyone.

If you have any questions feel free to mail us at board@studentcouncil.dk

Game Lecture Series: C. Thi Nguyen - Games, Gamification and Agency
In this Game Lecture Series talk, Professor C. Thi Nguyen from Utah university will talk about how games, by offering us a wide menu of different agencies to explore, can make us more free, while pervasive institutional gamifications, on the other hand, can undermine our freedom, by forcing a singular form of agency on us, with little hope of escape.
