Some societies are connected to specific educational programs and called program-societies. Those societies are responsible for monitoring the courses and programs of the education they are connected to.

It is divided in two different bodies which together work and plan for different elections with the student union. One body is responsible for the election to the delegate body and the other one is responsible for the elections to the student union board, president and vice presidents.
