The student union is managed by the student union board, which manages the various units of the student body and under which the staff works. The board is elected by the council every year in May. All Tallinn University students who are studying at Tallinn University at the time of application can apply for the board. A board member may not belong to any political party during his term of office.
The board of the student union has 3–7 members.
The chairman of the board is responsible for general management, information, administrative and economic areas, external relations and the functioning of representatives in various units.
The vice-chairman of the board in the field of social policy is responsible for access to higher education (including counseling, tuition fees, learning environment, well-being of students with special needs, student housing, children’s room) and the social and health well-being of the student population.
The advisor to the board is responsible for the coordination and development of various events in the field of education and advises the board on organizational and educational issues.
The staff includes a secretary and a communication specialist. The secretary coordinates the work of volunteers and is responsible for the sales area of the NGO. The communication specialist manages the media channels of the student body.
The student body of Tallinn University is also a part of various decision-making bodies of the university, for example, we protect the interests of students in the Senate of Tallinn University, at the general meetings of various unions, in the council of the Union of Estonian Students’ Unions, in the councils of various institutes and much more.
The TLÜ student body representative has been a member of the Estonian Student Union (EÜL) since 1991. EÜL is a student umbrella organization founded in 1991 that represents the Estonian student body. The main goal of EÜL is to stand up for the educational and socioeconomic rights and interests of students.
Tallinn University students participate extensively in the management of the university and are aware of their educational, social, cultural and societal opportunities and actively use them.
The mission of the student body of Tallinn University is to stand up for the rights and interests of students and promote development opportunities.
The predecessor of Tallinn University (Tallinn Pedagogical University) is the Tallinn Teachers' Seminary, founded on September 15, 1919. Over the decades, however, the seminar underwent several reorganizations, and in 1952, the then Tallinn Teachers' Institute was transformed into a higher education institution. This year can also be considered the birth of the future TU student body.
The Student Council in today's sense was formed in December 1990, when the first democratic elections were held for the Student Council of the Tallinn Pedagogical Institute (TpedI).
During the period of Soviet occupation, the Komsomol organization within the school performed to some extent the function of representing the student body in the higher bodies of the university. In 1989, the previous form of student representation of TPedI was exhausted under the banner of the Komsomol. The same functionaries re-adapted to the student union, which was not yet a democratically formed association representing students.
On October 2, 1990, at the extended meeting of the TpedI student union (participating corporations and the management of the institute), Ants Tooming, a student of the Faculty of Culture (Corp! Fraternitas Liviensis), proposed to form an effective democratically elected student representation in the higher education institution, following the example of the student representative organizations operating in the Republic of Estonia.
At the beginning of November 1990, a meeting of the corporatist wing for the organization of representation elections was held in the hall of TU, where the lists of candidates for representation by corporations were presented. On December 10, 1990, which can also be considered the official creation/birthday of the TU Student Union, the voting results were revealed.
In the weeks following the elections, several representative meetings took place, where the so-called power in running the affairs of the student union was taken into the hands of the newly elected representative. It was also decided that the representative council of the student union of Tallinn Pedagogical University will call itself a representation, but not a representation. Indrek Palu was elected the first chairman of the TPÜ student council, but he soon resigned. After some time, Agu Vahur was elected in his place, who was the chairman until the next regular elections.
However, the student councils that took office at the end of the 1990s led to a period of active student politics, as the TPÜ student council began to intervene more actively in the decision-making processes of the university and strongly participate in the activities of the Estonian Students' Union (EÜL). The formation of the current structure of the student council (chairman, two vice-chairmen and 5 committees - 21 members) also falls in this period.
Students fighting for the interests of students have started to act on the basis of faculties, since, for example, in 1999, the Student Council of the Faculty of Social Sciences (STÜN) of TPÜ was created to strengthen student representation at the faculty level. On the initiative of the student council and under the leadership of the students of the faculties, in the spring of 2004, student councils were also created in the Faculty of Education and Physical Education.
The goal was to create student councils in all faculties and other academic units of TÜV. In 2003, the first group of supporting members was also involved in the activities of the student union - in addition to 21 elected members, around 15 active supporting members worked in the committees of the student union and participated in the seminars of the Union of Estonian Students. A significant jump in student voter turnout took place in the spring of 2004, when compared to the 2003 elections, twice as many students took part in the elections (in 2003, 8.7% of the student body participated, but a year later, in April 2004, 16.4 % of TPU students).
The TLÜ student body representative has been a member of the Estonian Student Union (EÜL) since 1991. EÜL is a student umbrella organization founded in 1991 that represents the Estonian student body. The main goal of EÜL is to stand up for the educational and socioeconomic rights and interests of students.

Eksmati on elanud terve elu Laias laanes. Lapsena laulis ta Laialaane mudilaskooris, noorukina tegi oma bändi, kus jänes mängis trummi, karu flööti ja ta ise laulis ning tinistas ka kitarri. Muidugi on Eksmati ka aega teeninud ja seda nimelt metsaväes. Nüüd osaleb ta Kaitseliidu Tallinna Ülikooli rühma tegemistes ja kaitseb kõiki TLÜ tudengeid koos teiste vapratega.
