Events

The AStA of the THM

The AStA is the executive body of the student body. We represent all students of the THM outside and inside the THM. Our tasks cover numerous subject areas, for example

  • Semester ticket
  • Bicycle rental system
  • (Legal) advice
  • Parties & Welcome Week
  • Student council networking
  • Management of all finances of the student body
  • First point of contact for problems

and much more.

The AStA is organized in units. These are grouped into departments. Each department is assigned to a member of the Board of Management. More details about the departments and the units can be found in the tabs. The minutes of the AStA meetings are in the AStA Moodle course.

The AStA Board manages and coordinates the work of all units of the AStA. It represents the AStA externally and is the only one who can make legally binding declarations on behalf of the AStA.

The AStA board consists of the chairperson and the department heads of the AStA. Within a department, each department head (RL) supervises and coordinates the work of the units. The chairperson is responsible for the management of the board. He*She is the first point of contact for all inquiries to the AStA. The chairperson is therefore also assisted by the secretariat for answering inquiries.

Student Parliament (StuPa)

The Student Parliament (StuPa) is the highest body of the student body. Among other things, it decides on the budget and the semester fee and elects all members of the AStA, RPA, ÄRa and election committee. All students of the THM elect the members of the StuPa with the committee election for one year. The StuPa has 21 seats.

The StuPa is led by the StuPa presidium. Questions or requests can be sent directly to: praesi.stupa@thm.de. Minutes and invitation are in the Moodle course of the StuPa.

Council of Elders (ÄRa)

The Council of Elders (ÄRa) is the arbitration body of the student body. It verifies the legality of elections or resolutions. The ÄRa consists of three members who may not hold any other office in the student body.

Election Committee (WahlA)

As a committee of the Student Parliament, the Elections Committee is responsible for the proper conduct of committee elections. All students are eligible to run for the Elections Committee.

Audit Committee (RPA)

As a committee of the StuPa, the Audit Committee (RPA) controls the finances of the student body, especially the AStA and the student councils. Each StuPa list sends one representative to the RPA.

Finance Committee of the THM Student Representatives (FdFS)

The Finance Committee of the student councils of the THM manages the free funds of the student councils as a committee of the StuPa. One member of each FSR sits on the committee.

Student Representative Council (FSR)

The Fachschafsrat (FSR) is composed of the students of a department elected in the committee elections. He is the first point of contact for problems in the department and manages the money of the students of the department. Members are also expected to organize events for students and recruit members for departmental committees.
