The aim of this study is to describe and explain the political party participation among university students. The background to the study lies in the growing problem with the political party participation in Sweden where the members in political parties has been going down for many years and seemingly continue to do so. Thats why the purpose of this study is to examine the political party participation among university students using a questionnaire survey and will be explained by using the theory ”Civic Voluntarism Modell”.  To explain the participation through CVM there is three main factors in this theory: resources, motivation and social network, who will be the factors used for the questionnaire survey and for the analysis. The material that’s been analyzed is there for the answers of the respondents in the questionnaire survey done at Mälardalens University in Västerås at three different programs: Statsvetarprogrammet, Beteendevetenskapliga Programmet and Lärarprogrammet. The result of the survey show there is a very low political party participation among university students as well, low numbers of both members in political parties and even lower numbers of active members in political parties. The result also shows that there is a connection between Civic Voluntarism Modell and the political party participation in the study, mainly regarding resources but motivation and social network as well. The study ends with a discussion of how well the connection between CVM and political party participation appears within the survey and reflects about possible flaws and struggles in the questionnaire survey.
