The six members that form the Student Council work together with students, teachers and staff members of ‘College Hall' in order to "improve the liberal arts and sciences education from a student's perspective". The Student Council is dependent on student involvement in this process thereby holding a range of different research activities; from small-scale discussion groups (focus groups) to large-scale student opinion surveys. UC Student Council also functions as an open source of information for students and facilitates them in their initiatives.The UC Student Council holds an official position within "College Hall", the management of UCU.
