Student representatives

The Student Representatives' Council currently consists two student senators and five representatives elected by the student parliament. The Council may appoint commissaries to assist it in its work.

Information and forms from the Finance Division for student representatives, such as the Authorisation to Confirm Bills and Receipts Form, forms for events and others can be found on the Finance and Budget page (German).

The Student Parliament represents the interests of all students at the University. It acts as their mouthpiece, relaying suggestions to the University Executive, the faculties and other official bodies of the University of Passau. It also serves a filtering function: as the elected student representatives' body, the Student Parliament 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 of the four faculties can advise on most questions to do with student life and your studies. The student representatives – the official name according to the Bavarian University Law is Fachschaftsvertretung – are the elected representatives of the students of the respective faculty and represent the interests and concerns of the students in the faculty board, the student parliament, the student fees committee and the appointment committees. The student committees also inform students of those developments in their respective faculty which directly or indirectly affect your studies.
