Student Council

The Student Council (SC) is a student-led platform for experimentation, creation, and dialogue at Design Academy Eindhoven. It enriches the student experience through open exchange between students, tutors, studio leaders, staff, and the Executive Board (CvB).

Committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, the Council fosters a culture of ownership, accountability, and collective care. It supports student well-being by strengthening community, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.

More than a representative body, the Council turns ideas into action, initiating projects, events, and proposals that shape the Academy’s evolving culture. It is a laboratory where students test concepts, work across departments, and imagine new forms of learning and participation.

Have an idea that could transform student life? Want to design a workshop, organize a school-wide event, or prototype a new way of engaging the Academy? Contact student.council@designacademy.nl.

Students who serve for two years receive a €300 honorarium toward study materials.
