The Allgemeine Studierendenausschuss (AStA)

The Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss (AStA) is the university-wide representation of interests of all students at RWTH. We are elected annually by the student parliament. Our tasks consist of representing the students’ interests in university policy towards the university, the state and the public, managing the financial resources of the student body, advising on a wide range of 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 (Fachschaften), the equal opportunity project of the student body (Gleichstellungsprojekt), the student senators, therepresentation of foreign students (AV) or the numerous student initiatives and associations.
