Departments of the Student Council
In order to be able to cover the many and varied tasks of the Student Council (FSR), the FSR sets up departments. These are headed by officers and have a specific, defined area of responsibility on which they work. As a rule, the departments are appointed at the constituent meeting of the FSR.
In addition, the FSR can set up working groups (AKs for short, from the german term Arbeitskreisen) that support the units in larger projects or work on an acute topic.
Master students and foreign students
When it comes to contact with students in the Master's programme and from abroad, obstacles can arise that are difficult for the student council to overcome. The department should offer these students a contact point, improve contact with the student council and, if necessary, organise smaller events for them.Lara Becker

Grievance box
The grievance box is to be used as an anonymous complaints office to the student council, to which one can turn to address problems of any kind. This also includes problems with the student council directly. This must be supervised in order to solve and address corresponding points if necessary.Lennart Märtin
Regulars' table
The regulars' table refers to a joint, recreational meeting at which someone gives a more or less physical lecture. Occasionally, pubquizes or PowerPoint karaoke are also carried out there. As a rule, a regular's table is held every month during the semester. These have to be planned and advertised, as well as supplied with drinks and snacks.Henry Schumacher

Working groups
For some topics/problems that arise in studies and everyday student council life, a simple discussion at a student council meeting is not necessarily sufficient. If this is the case, the people who are interested in the topic meet in a working group that deals more intensively with the dedicated task on behalf of the student council.
The following working groups are currently active:
- First-year trip: Once a year (beginning/middle of the winter semester), the student council takes the current first-year students on a first-year trip. This working group is responsible for organising this trip.
In charge: First-year department
Would you like to actively participate in one of the working groups? Then get in touch with those responsible (or with the student council) or come along to a student council meeting.
