The students in the faculty are members of the Student Council. Its tasks are defined in § 25 Para. 4 of the Federal State Higher Education Act as taking care of the “faculty-related academic affairs of the students”, the “social support of the students” and the support of their “intellectual, musical and sporting interests” on the faculty level. On the university level, the Allgemeine Studierendenausschuss (AStA, Students’ Union) takes on this responsibility.
