Besides you, there are currently over 30,000 students enrolled at our university. Together we all represent the student body. This makes us by far the largest interest group at our university and we have a voice in many decisions. Student commitment can really make a difference!
As every year, the university-wide elections š³ are coming up again. From December 10 to December 12, 2024, you can vote for the Student Council, the Faculty Council, the Deputy Equal Opportunity Officers as well as the Senate and the Extended Senate via the various election booths on campus or by absentee ballot. Stand up for the interests of your fellow students, gather insight š into the inner workings of the university, get to know committed people and hone your social skills in open discourse.
Getting started in student participation š£ by joining the student council is very simple and requires no special knowledge.
The Student Council (FSR) is your student representation at the faculty. It represents all students of certain courses, which are combined to a student council. The FSR is the first point of contact for problems concerning your studies and supports the first semesters with an introduction week (ESE) at the beginning of their studies to help with orientation at the university. In addition to many events such as game nights or parties, the FSR offers useful tips and services, such as collections of exams, counselling services or a material rental service.
The student council consists of up to 21 members elected by you, who usually meet weekly. The members of the FSR send students to the student council (StuRa) and propose the student representatives for various committees of the faculty.
The Faculty Council is the highest and most influential body of a faculty. Here, the main organizational, financial and personnel issues are discussed and decided in monthly meetings. Among other things, it confirms the study documents that have been prepared by the Study Commission (StuKo) and organizes the appointments for professorships.
The chair of the faculty council is held by the dean. In addition to professors and representatives of the academic staff, the group of scientific support staff, and an equal opportunity commissioner, you are also represented by students, voted for by you.
In the department council, similar to the faculty council, all member groups from the department meet. This means that, in addition to student representatives, this body also includes professors, research assistants and technical and administrative staff. In addition, there is also the equal opportunity commissioner of the department.
Depending on the order of the department, the department council has different tasks. For example, it can decide on departmental study programs or decide on the further development of the department.
The Senate is the highest academic body of the TU Dresden. It makes fundamental decisions for the entire university, i.e. it determines its strategy and orientation. The introduction and dissolution of study programs is also decided here as a last resort. The Senate also has an important function as a platform for the exchange of information between the various departments, faculties, institutions and status groups.
These status groups make up, in varying proportions, a total of 21 members of the Senate with voting rights. As in all committees, the 11 professors entitled to vote have a majority of one vote as prescribed by law, the students and research assistants each have 4 representatives, the other employees 2.
In addition, other persons without voting rights belong to the senate. These include, for example, the rector, prorector, chancellor and the deans of the faculties as well as the central equal opportunity commissioner.
In addition to the Senate, there is also the expanded Senate. However, this body meets less frequently. It is responsible for the election and de-election of the Rector as well as for decisions about changes in the basic rules of the TU Dresden.
The rector is the chairman. Just like the prorector, the chancellor, the dean and the university's equal opportunity commissioner, is a member of the committee in an advisory capacity only. The 21 voting members of the Senate and the same number of representatives from the status groups belong to the expanded Senate. You elect the four student representatives and their substitutes.
There are equal opportunity officers at various levels of the university. The representatives of the faculties and departments are directly elected. Any member of the faculty or department can become the equal opportunity commissioner. This means that students can also run for office.
The equal opportunity commissioners are qua office members of the faculty or department councils and are also represented on the appointment committees. In addition, the equal opportunity commissioners are contact persons at their level for problems and questions in the area of equal opportunity work and organize and support projects and events as far as possible.
Up to 25 candidates can be elected to the student council.

Hey, I'm Philipp and I've been studying computer science since 2020. During this time I've had a wide variety of experiences: from the beginnings during COVID, to serious thoughts of dropping out, to a now almost completed diploma - with these experiences I would like to help other students. I have also been working a lot with the iFSR since ESE 2024 and would now like to do this āofficiallyā :D
With my third candidacy, I stand for a balanced approach to leading the FSR. A clear stance against right-wing extremism is essential to me, while I oppose involvement in non-university-related issues.
