University Policy

Here you can find an overview of the different committees of the university with student participation.

Student Parliament One of the most important bodies is the Student Parliament, which is directly elected by you. Thus, all students bring their weight into this construct.

StudentCouncil The members of the studentcouncil (i.e. the students of the corresponding courses of study) elect their student council. They take care of subject-specific problems, questions and topics.

Central Student Council The 5 student councils then elect the Central Student Council (FZR), which serves as an exchange between the student councils in order to deal with interdisciplinary issues.

Ausländerrat The foreign students elect their Ausländerrat to represent their interests.

Faculty Councils The 3 Faculty Councils (Natural and Material Sciences / Energy and Economic Sciences / Mathematics, Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering) ensure subject-specific communication between the faculties and the university management. They also administer the examination regulations and implementation rules. There 2 student representatives are purely elected directly by you.

Study Commissions In each of the 5 study commissions (Natural and Material Sciences / Energy and Raw Materials / Economic Sciences / Mathematics and Computer Science / Mechanical Engineering and Process Engineering) there are 4 students and 4 professors/staff members.
