Study associations

• V.I.B. (Bewegingswetenschappen)

  Vereniging In Beweging is the study association of the Human Movement Sciences programme. All V.I.B. members study Human Movement Sciences. The difference between a study association and a student association is that everything is possible but nothing is compulsory. So there are no obligations, merely a whole host of opportunities!

  What does V.I.B. do?
  The V.I.B. does everything it can to support its members in their studies, education, social life and much more. To ensure our future human movement scientists have an unforgettable time at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the V.I.B. runs a number of committees that organise enjoyable activities for a low price. These activities give students a better idea of the opportunities and perspectives within the field of Human Movement Sciences. They also help the students to relax and escape the stress of their studies.

  More information
  The V.I.B. board members are available from Monday to Friday in the board room (Faculty of Medicine, Room D-048).

• VSPVU (Association of Students of Psychology and Education at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)

  The VSPVU is the study association for the Psychology and Education programmes. The VSPVU organises all kinds of events, ranging from conferences, lectures and museum visits to drinks receptions, sporting events and trips abroad. Being an active member of the VSPVU offers a whole host of advantages. For example, you learn how to organise events and you work intensively in teams. Furthermore, your membership also entitles you to discounts on textbooks, summaries and activities organised by the VSPVU.

• FGB Facultaire Studentenraad (FSR)

  What is the Student Council (FSR)?

  The Faculty Student Council consists of 7 members in total. Our most important task is to make sure that the opinions and feedback of FGB students are heard by the relevant organizations within our faculty. We have recurrent meetings with the Faculty Board (the so-called Gezamenlijke Vergadering/GV) in which we represent the interests of FGB students.

  Apart from that, we also keep in contact with study associations like the V.I.B., VSPVU, and FSR’s from other faculties to pick up signals from our student population, but also to have fun, of course!

  We are here to represent our students, so we want to emphasize that if there is any feedback about our faculty you would like to share with us (or if you are struggling with a personal issue that is affecting your study for example) we are here to help you. If we cannot help you ourselves, we are still able to direct you to the organization or person within the VU who can.

  Feel free to contact us as your opinions are always welcome!

• Facultair Studenten Overleg (F.S.O.G.B.)

  Het F.S.O.G.B. is een maandelijks overleg met alle studenten die binnen de Faculteit der Gedrags- en Bewegingswetenschappen (FGB) de belangen van de studenten behartigen in verschillende commissies en besturen. Door middel van het F.S.O.G.B. blijven alle commissies en besturen op de hoogte van de ontwikkelingen binnen de faculteit die voor studenten van belang zijn.

  Organen en de functie van het F.S.O.G.B.
  Het F.S.O.G.B. bestaat uit de facultaire studentenraad, de tien opleidingscommissies, de twee studieverenigingen (V.I.B. en VSPVU) en de studentassessor van de FGB. De studentassessor is een student-lid in het faculteitsbestuur. Hij of zij is tevens voorzitter van het F.S.O.G.B. Elke commissie en elk orgaan zal tijdens de vergadering een afvaardiging sturen.

  Meer informatie over de F.S.O.G.B. is te vinden op VUnet (voor VU studenten en medewerkers). Heb je vragen of opmerkingen, mail dan naar Ivar Maas.
