This is the AStA

The General Students' Committee (German: Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss) or AStA, is the acting executive board and the external representing agency of the (constituted) student body at universities in most German states. It is therefore considered the student government and student representative organization. The AStA fulfils a similar function as the Students' Union at a British university.

The task of the student council comprising the social promotion of students, the needs of students with children and students with disabilities, the promotion of intellectual, musical and sporting interests of students, the overarching study affairs of students, and the promotion of inter-regional and international student cooperation.

If you would like to actively shape university life and organize projects in the interest of all students, then you've come to the right place. The AStA meets each Wednesday – why not pay us a visit!
