Der Allgemeine Studierendenausschuss (AStA)
The General Student Committee is the university-wide representative body for all students at RWTH Aachen University. We are elected annually by the student parliament. Our tasks consist of representing students in university policy towards the university, the state and the public, managing the financial resources of the student body, advising on various social and student issues, organizing a cultural program and political education.
Our tasks are divided into so-called departments, which you can think of as ministries, each consisting of between 5 and 15 people and headed by the relevant officers.
We work together with many other student groups and organizations, such as the student councils, the student body’s equal opportunities project, the student senators, the Foreigners’ Representation (AV) or the numerous student initiatives and associations.
