Student body
You can help decide what happens at your university through higher education policy!
The student government at the OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts consists of the Student Parliament (StuPa), the General Students’ Committee (AStA) and student body representatives from each department.
Take part!
Student bodies are always looking for new, committed members. If you want to take part and help shape student life at the OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts, then contact the AStA directly during its business hours, or take part in a meeting of student body representatives from your department.
Student Parliament (StuPa)
The Student Parliament passes resolutions on guidelines for student government and its budget. The parliament is responsible for managing the AStA and electing its members, as well as the members of other boards. Parliament members are elected by all students at the university.
Minutes from past meetings and upcoming dates are available here.

Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss (AStA)
The Student Parliament supports the General Students’ Committee (AStA). The Committee executes the parliament's resolutions, and represents the OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts student body externally. It is made up of departments focused on different areas of university life. For example, it offers discounted writing materials, organizes events and parties, and supports international students. The StuPa elects its members during meetings.
