Student unions at SKH
The three student unions at SKH are politically and religiously independent, non-profit organisations whose primary purpose is to monitor and promote student interests and concerns and represent them in all matters relating to student life, including education, development, health and safety, equality and student welfare. Through the Student Union students are able to influence their education and the university's orientation. The unions also offer a forum for social activities, debates and parties.
There are three different Student Unions at SKH:
- The Dramatic Union (for students within Acting, Film and Media or Performing Arts)
- Kåren SUDPAC (for students within Circus, Dance or Dance Pedagogy)
- Operahögskolans studentkår (for students within Opera)
The Dramatic Union
Easiest way to reach us is through e-mail: dramatiskakaren@uniarts.se. Issues can be anything from creating a club, arranging a party or queries and complaints about your study environment or teachers. We are here for you!
Student Union Board
The Student Union Board are responsible for the daily operations of the Unions activities. It is elected twice per school year, at the Annual Meeting and Extra Annual Meeting which are held in the midst of each semester. The right to run as candidate for The Board is held by any member of the Student Union. The Board has a limited number of seats where we prioritize responsibilities and roles in order so that representation of departments and classes/courses is as broad as possible.
As of today the board consists of the following people:
Chairperson: Sten Dellson
Vice chairperson: Merete Lindholm
Treasurer: Sofia Pilesjö
Vice treasurer with responsibility for membership: Arvid Westberg
Secretary: Anton Skarborn
Event manager: Lukas Schottenius
Members of the board: Vera Fhager, Axel Österholm
The board gathers every other week to hold monthly meetings with all three prefects (of the departments that the union represents), to directly carry on and discuss opinions and queries from students of the school. We also represent the students in important organs such as the Principal Management Group and The Board of Directors. In addition we keep in touch with the other two unions at school, Kåren SUDPAC and Operahögskolans studentkår through the conversation group SASU (SKH Assembled Student Unions), which gathers once a month.

The fee for becoming a member is 99 SEK per school year. The fee is paid through mobile app Swish. Please be careful to not forget stating your personal ID number in the Swish. The number is 123 357 96 12. If you are not eligible to use Swish, perhaps because you haven’t received a Swedish personal ID number, please contact us via e-mail to get it all solved out in another way.

Through membership in the Union you can also get eligibility to join the queue for housing at SSSB (Stiftelsen Stockholms studentbostäder), which is an organization offering student apartments. Further than being a Union member you have to at least study 15 points at a study pace of 50%. You submit yourself by registering at the website of SSSB (www.sssb.se). We update our member index as often as we can but don’t hesitate to contact us if somethings seems off.
Mecenat Card
The Mecenat Card doesn’t have anything to do with the Union or Union Membership, but is something that every student in Sweden has eligibility for. Because of that we take no responsibility for applying for a Mecenat card, you register yourself at Mecenats website if you aren’t automatically registered when you start studying. You may need to submit a certificate of registration which you easily can download yourself at www.student.ladok.se/student/loggain, use your school log-in information to log in.
