Student representatives

The Student Representatives' Council consists of four delegates elected by the Student Parliament, the Student Senator and usually four additional delegates. The Student Representatives' Council represents the students' interests.

The Student Parliament represents the students' interests. It acts as the mouthpiece for Passau's students, relaying suggestions to the University Executive, the faculties and other official bodies of the University of Passau. It also has a vetting function: as an elected board of student representatives, it votes on the acceptance and rejection of received petitions, which may be in the form of detailed proposals, or mere suggestions and guidelines.

The Student Committees ('Fachschaften' in German) represent the students' interests of their respective faculties before the Faculty Board, the Student Parliament, the Student Fees Committee and the Appointments Committees. They are the first point of contact for students with study-related enquiries, offering advice on how to organise students' course of study and lending a hand with setting up their timetables. Moreover, the Student Committees are responsible for organising the Orientation Week at the start of each semester.
