Ombud for students and PhD students

Halmstad Student Union has an Ombud for students and PhD students who works with legal student issues at the University and supports all students. You can turn to the ombud with a wide range of questions concerning your rights as a student such as unfair treatment or rules and regulations regarding exams and course plans.

The task of the Ombud is to provide students at Halmstad University with guidance and support in matters regarding your studies and your rights as a student. No matter the severity of the case, you can contact the Ombud. No third party will be informed that you have contacted the Ombud unless you have actively approved of it.

You can seek help to facilitate contact with someone at the University, mediate at a meeting or take care of correspondence in sensitive cases where you as a student are either not sure of your rights or just want to remain anonymous. You can also contact the Ombud if you have complaints regarding the physical or psychosocial environment at the University. The aim of the Ombud is to make sure student rights are protected. Cases are treated confidentially and anonymity is offered as far as possible.

By turning to the Ombud, you provide the Student Union with information about problems that may otherwise go unnoticed. This information can then be used as grounds for implementing changes at the University and improve the quality of education which is a part of the Student Union’s mission statement.
