The Student Council (StuRa) represents the interests of TU Ilmenau students as elected by you. It represents the students vis-à-vis the university, the city, the state and the federal government and communicates with many committees of our university.
As the work of the StuRa covers many areas, it is also divided into various departments and working groups. You can find an introduction to our student committees and their members on this website. So if you want to find out more about the work of your student councils, the doctoral student representation or a department, for example, you've come to the right place.
You can also find out about many relevant student topics here - so if you have any questions about studying and campus life or would like to contribute ideas, we would be delighted if you contact us in person or by email.
Tasks
The tasks of the student body are diverse. Paragraphs 79 to 82 of the Thuringian Higher Education Act provide us with the framework for what we should do and promote. Section 80 (1) (Tasks of the student body) in particular forms the basis for the activities of the student council and the faculty student councils. It states:
The student body has the following tasks:
- Representation of all students at the university within the scope of its legal powers,
- To represent the political interests of the students,
- To represent the professional, social and cultural interests of the students,
- Promoting political education and a sense of civic responsibility among students,
- Promotion of voluntary student sports, insofar as the university is not responsible for this,
- Promoting the integration of foreign students,
- fostering supra-regional and international student relations.
The statutes of the student body build on this basis and regulate the exact structure for the student body of our university.
Memberships
The StuRa is a member of various organizations, associations and societies. These serve above all the supra-regional exchange of information and the representation of the interests of our students at state and federal level. Ultimately, these memberships are intended to benefit you as a student at TU Ilmenau.
Federal Student Council Conferences
Our student councils meet regularly with other student councils in their subject area from German-speaking countries to network and exchange ideas at national student council conferences. At these conferences, they exchange ideas about teaching concepts, the structure of degree programs, specialist areas and projects, among other things. Here are a few conferences that our student councils regularly attend:
- EI
- IA
- MB
- MN
- WM
