University-level representation of students is implemented by the Student Union and the Doctoral Student Association. The goal of the Student Union is to represent the interests of the students at the university and in different regional and national organisations.

The Student Union coordinates the work of the faculty representations, communicates and cooperates with other Hungarian student unions, especially with the National Student Union as well as with different international student organisations. The Student Union may establish and manage several cultural, sports and social divisions.

Its highest decision-making body is the Delegate Assembly which holds its ordinary meetings at least once a semester. The Delegate Assembly consists of 15 members (3-3 members from each faculty). The operational tasks are performed by the president and by the vice-president. The Student Union currently delegates 7 students (president, vice-president, and the five presidents of the student representations at faculty level) to the university’s main decision-making body, the Senate, and takes part in the work of the university committees as laid down in Act CCIV of 2011 on National Higher Education.

In addition to supporting the activities of the faculty representations, the Student Union of the university contributes to the enrichment of the university life by organising several community events. One of the most popular programme is the Sports Day which takes place during the Károli Community Week (Training Week).

The most direct level of student advocacy is provided by the student representations at faculty level. The representatives of the faculties regularly participate in faculty-level decision-making (Faculty Council, Study Committee, Credit Transfer Committee), and organise a number of community building events, and provide support to the students in all kinds of issues that may arise during their studies at the University.
