Student Parliament

The Student Parliament (StuPa for short) is the highest student body and is made up of 25 elected student members. These members represent the opinions of all students and decide on proposals submitted to the StuPa.
The StuPa decides on major investments for the student body. In addition, the AStA speakers are also voted on at the meetings and reports from other committees, such as the Senate and student councils, are presented. All decisions made by the Stupa are implemented by the AStA.
Just like the student councils, the StuPa is elected every two semesters. The Stupa is therefore a very important and decisive body.

If you would like to find out what is going on at all of the university's campuses and would like to play an active role in shaping the university, you are welcome to get involved in the Stupa! If you are interested, follow us on Instagram! The meeting dates and short summaries of the last meetings are also uploaded there.
All meetings are open to the university public, so feel free to drop by!

Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss (AStA)

The tasks of the AStA are very diverse, but always with the aim of making life at the university easier for students.
For example, the AStA negotiates the semester ticket, rents out vans and runs a café or shop on campus.
It also helps with finding accommodation and assists international students with their first steps in their new country. The AStA is also the right place to go if you think there is a lack of bike racks on campus.
To organise everything, there are several departments within the AStA, for example a culture, sports or social affairs and equality department. If you contact the AStA, you will know directly who knows what best.

Our AStA is elected by the StuPa and has its own website where you can find everything.
