WHAT IS THE TALTECH STUDENT PARLIAMENT?
The Student Parliament is the highest decision-making body of the TalTech Student Union – our very own student parliament. If the TalTech student body were the Estonian people, the Student Parliament would be its parliament.
The Student Parliament meets regularly once a month. In addition, each member of the Student Parliament chooses one of the two committees to work with: the Academic Committee and the Student Life Committee.
The Student Parliament has 15 members, with at least one representative from each faculty. The remaining seats are distributed based on the number of students in each faculty.
Student Parliament members:
- Elect the Student Union Board.
- Approve the Student Union budget and action plan.
- Discuss and decide on matters that affect student life.
- Represent the interests of all TalTech students.

Student experience
"Being in the Student Parliament encouraged me to ask more questions when I didn’t understand something. Before, I didn’t feel confident enough to ask questions in lectures or conferences. Now, I’m much braver and use this to gain knowledge."
– Diana Maslova, Parliament Member 2022-2023
"What motivated me to join was mainly to improve myself on a communication level. Plus, I knew I’d meet great people and gain a better understanding of university processes."
– Kristiina Tammik, Parliament Member 2023-2024
