The Student Representation’s Tasks
To achieve its goals, the Council of Student Representatives elects chairs, division heads and appointees. Together, they form the Allgemeiner Studentischer Ausschuss (AStA) and meet regularly every other Tuesday at 18:30 Uhr in the AStA office. These meetings are public, you’re welcome to stop by. You con find upcoming meeting dates here.
The Student Representation’s goals are defined in Bavarian university laws. Our approach to fulfilling these goals leads to various projects:
