The highest decision-making power in OSAKO lies in the hands of the body of 25 representatives. The members of the body are chosen by the students each year. Executive board uses the executive power and runs the operations of the student union. The chair person and the six board members are chosen by the body of representatives. OSAKO has also few full-time and part-time employees.

OSAKO is a member of SAMOK (Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences). In SAMOK our local student union has influence on national matters and the members of the executive board have access to the seminars provided by SAMOK. SAMOK is also our mouthpiece to the state administration and national organisations.

Sectors and working groups

Operations and activities of OSAKO have been divided into different sectors: organisational affairs, educational affairs, social affairs, international and cultural affairs and tutorial affairs. The chair person of each sector´s working group is always a member of the executive board. Otherwise the working groups mainly consist of the representatives of the field-specific student associations of every educational unit.

Student association in your own educational unit

Students of every educational unit in Oulu UAS have their own student associations which co-operate with the Student Union OSAKO. Membership in these field-specific student associations is FREE of charge once you´ve joined OSAKO.

Field-specific student associations:

• Kultti (School of Music, Dance and Media)
• LUVA (School of Renewable Natural Resources)
• OTE (School of Engineering)
• OTRO (School of Business and Information Management)
• Ramko (Raahe School of Engineering and Business)
