Uppsala Student Union

According to Swedish law, all university students are required to be members of a students' union. Uppsala Student Union covers all faculties at Uppsala University except for the Faculty of Pharmacy, which has its own students' union.

Uppsala Student Union was founded in March 1849 by the student nations at the university and was the first Swedish students' union. With more than 33,000 members, it is also the largest students' union in Sweden.

The students' union appoints student representatives to various boards and committees of the university.
