THE STUDENT UNION
HHGS is the student union at the School of Business, Economics and Law. They live by the creed that "together we shape our future". Being a student union means that what they do is regulated by Swedish law, namely monitoring the education at the School for all its students – members as well as non-members. However, monitoring education is just one of very many things that the union does. HHGS is the mother-organisation of more than 30 associations, all of which organise several events during the year, ranging from inspirational lunch lectures to a full-blown musical. Furthermore, HHGS has three career fairs during the year and owns 100% of seven companies that give meaningful work experience to hundreds of members every year.
Union companies
HHGS have their own corporate group, consisting of eight companies owned through their holding company; HHGS Holding AB. Through HHGS' companies, thousands of students have over the years gained valuable experience in management consulting, legal advisory and accounting, to name but a few of the fields HHGS Group engages in. With a yearly turnover of over 14 million Swedish crowns and a couple of hundred employees, the HHGS group is both a source of knowledge and revenue for the owners, ergo: as a member of the Student Union.
The International Committee
The International Committee (IntU) is a part of the School's Student Union and cooperates together with the International Office. Together they welcome and care for all the incoming exchange students at the faculty. Incoming exchange students are provided with a two-week long welcome programme arranged by IntU at the beginning of each semester.
