What is the student council and what does it do?
The Student Council consists of all students of the faculty. Once a year all students elect the Student Council - their representation of interests.
The Student Council is the contact point for all students facing problems and ambiguities during their studies. They also organize partys and serve as a guide and the "link" between students and professors.
