The Student Representative Council (FSR) is the representative of the students of the respective department and organizes e.g. the first semester introductions, parties, excursions or provides computer labs or learning centers.
The Student Representative Council must be consulted on all matters concerning the conditions of study in the Departmental Council. The FSR must be informed of the relevant documents at least 14 days before the respective departmental council meeting. Certainly, the FSR can refrain from making a statement, but: it can also bring initiatives concerning the study conditions to the departmental council. These initiatives are then to be put on the agenda of the next meeting of the departmental council, as long as they are received at least 14 days in advance. While this also means more work and familiarization with perhaps new subject areas (e.g. study and examination regulations), it also offers a great opportunity to get more underway within the department for the benefit of students. And don't almost all decisions in a department affect the conditions of study?
Student council elections are personal elections, which means that the proposals are directly elected by the students of the department.
The student body constitution states that the size of the FSR is based on the size of the department.
The Fachschaftsrat should meet weekly and hold at least one Fachschaftenvollversammlung per semester.
