Committees, Departments & Working Groups
Committees
There are a number of committees at the University of Stuttgart that represent students in university life. In general, these are:
The Executive Board
The executive board is the executive body of stuvus (student representation of the University of Stuttgart). That means - among other things: It implements resolutions of the student parliament (StuPa), drafts the budget and takes care of the stuvus staff.
The Student Parliament
The student parliament (StuPa) controls the executive board of the stuvus and is the legislative body of the student body.
The Senate
The Senate makes central decisions, such as appointing new professors, the research orientation at the university or the establishment or revision of degree programmes. It is supported by the Academic Student Council (ASR) as the interface between the stuvus and the senate, responsible for the allocation of some funds and all topics related to teaching.
Together, these bodies ensure that students and their needs are represented in university policy and that their concerns are communicated.
The work of the central committees is supported by units and working groups dedicated to specific topics. If you would like to specialise in a particular topic, this is definitely the right place for you!
Departments
The departments are subgroups of the stuvus, which are dedicated to certain issues. These include, for example, looking after IT or promoting the idea of sustainability at the university.
