Why become a member?
SFS is the unified student voice that pursues common issues concerning students at a national and international level. As the overall student vote, SFS's main task is to represent the interests of the member unions and students. This means influencing issues that are important to students. SFS is a member-run organization that is based on basic democratic principles and is non-partisan and non-religious.
SFS does not work with individual higher education institutions, but this does its own corps the best. SFS, on the other hand, gathers corps around the country that together decide the priorities and which common important issues are to be pursued at national and international level.
