Student Council
We represent the interests of the student community at FH Erfurt
What is the student council?
The student council (shortened to ‘StuRa’ in German) is a committee at the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt that consists of a maximum of 17 elected students and represents the interests of the FHE student community both within and outside the university.
The work of the StuRa is wide-ranging, which is why the responsibilities are shared across various departments, each of which is headed by at least one person. In addition to representing students in dealings with teaching staff, the university executive board, the city and various external and internal parties, the StuRa also stages events such as the FHE summer party and seeks to develop and improve student life in every way possible.
With this in mind, the StuRa is always on the lookout for new ideas and exciting projects. The summer party, the winter market and other student projects are all run by the StuRa.
If you feel like helping us out, just come along and join in! You can assist the student council as it suits you. Even as a non-voting member, you will receive credit points for your involvement.
