Student Councils (Fachschaften)
The term “Fachschaft” has two meanings. On the one hand, it refers to the entire body of students enrolled in a department. On the other, it refers to the council that represents the interests of the students in the department.
Student councils are there to help serve the needs of the students. They:
- provide counselling and advising services
- represent student interests in the department
- offer mentoring for first-semester students
- manage the student finances of the each department
Each department has its own student council. You can find student council addresses on the individual department homepages under “Adressen und Ansprechpartner” or on the homepage of the AStA under “Student Councils.”
To find out where your class is taking place and where your lecture halls are located, look in the Campus System. The course catalogue indicates the room and address of every seminar.
