WE GET IT DONE!

Follow us on our socials

Student Party SAM is the oldest student party representing all students at Tilburg University. Operating within the University Council, SAM ensures that student interests, academic quality, campus facilities, and student well-being remain top priorities for university decision-makers.

Who We Are & What We Do

We are officall elected representatives, on the Univeristy Council, where we directly represent students in discussions with the Executive Board on policy, education, and campus developments.

Connection with students is our priority No 1. Every week we actively listen and assess what are the current devlelopmnets among students and what are the most urgent needs.

We turn the student needs into actual projects or initiatives. We either execute our own projects, or submit an official initiatives before the University Council that have to be review and answered to by the Executive Board.

Our Core Pillars

  1. Quality of Education: Ensuring modern, inovatinve, and high-standard curricula across all programs
  2. Facilities & Housing: Improving study places, sports facilities, digital infrastructure and housing
  3. Accessibility & Wellbeing: Standing up for inclusive and supportive campus culture
  4. Community Development: Creating community that will forster everyones talents

 

Whether you want to share feedback on campus facilities, ask a question about university policy, or get involved in student politics, Student Party SAM is here to support you throughout your student journey at Tilburg University.

Together, WE GET IT DONE!
