Committees are the self-governing bodies of the university
A public university is not organised “top-down”! With a few exceptions, all decisions are made in committees representing the groups involved.
In principle, this can be divided into four areas:
Student Self-Government
Committees consisting only of students (StuPa, AStA & student council representatives).
Academic Self-Government
Committees consist of students, professors, and staff (Presidium, Senate, Dean’s Office, Faculty councils, and examination boards).
There are Committees at Faculty Level.
For example,
Study contents and organization
Appointments of professors
Formation and update of study programs
and Committees at University Level.
For example,
Decisions that affect all study programs and faculty meetings (legal, financial, personnel, etc.)
Strategic orientation of the university
Framework conditions for the faculties and departments
Committees of student Self-administration
The students are the largest grouping in the university in terms of numbers. Student autonomy is anchored in the Hessian Higher Education Act (HHG) – which enables us to help shape the university in many different ways and assert our interests.
If you feel like helping to shape your university, just drop by and find out if the student parliament is the right place for you to get involved!
Among other things, the AStA organises cultural events (e.g. the summer party), conducts negotiations with contractual partners (e.g. RMV), and is actively involved in internal and external university policy while promoting the interests of students. All students who are interested in the work of the AStA can contact the staff in their office located within the red building at any time.
Some members of the student council also work in committees such as the AStA, StuPa, Senate, Student Council Representation, Examination Committee, and other committees and commissions where they represent the interests of the students. Further information on the individual student councils will follow on the following pages.
The student councils always look forward to new people who want to contribute. So if you want to participate and help shape your studies and faculty life, please contact your student council.
Committees of academic self-administration
The university is largely self-governed. Important decisions on research, teaching and studying are made in the central and decentralised bodies of the university. There are limitations made by the Hessian Higher Education Act (HHG) and the Higher Education Framework Act (HRG). Of course, students also play a part in the representation!
