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 seven companies that give meaningful work experience to hundreds of members every year.
