Organisation of the student body

The Fachschaft Physics/Astronomy Bonn is, first of all, all students of physics or astronomy at the University of Bonn. Colloquially, however, the term "Fachschaft" often refers to the people who take part in meetings of the Fachschafts' council or take care of pending tasks. The body usually associated with the Fachschaft is the Fachschafts' council (FSR). However, there are also the Student Association Representatives (FSV) and the Full Student Body Council (FSVV). You can find out what the tasks of these committees are on the respective sub-pages of the committees.

Full Student Body Council (FSVV)

The Full Student Body Council is the meeting of all students of physics and astronomy for the information of the members.

Student Association Representatives (FSV)

The Student Association Representatives is the elected body of the Fachschaft that decides on official business.

Fachschafts' Council (FSR)

The Fachschafts' Council is the executive body of the Fachschaft, responsible for day-to-day tasks.

What does the Fachschaft do?

The Fachschaft has various tasks. These include, for example, representing the student body in various committees. The Fachschaft also tries to mediate between professors and students in the event of problems in lectures. In order to support students, especially first-year students, in their studies, the Fachschaft has set up various offers over the years.

External Committee representation
