Our main job as a student council is to be there for you - the students of media studies. We consider ourselves a mouthpiece of the students, but also as a mediator of interests between media students and lecturers. We are in regular contact with the faculty staff to both share our impressions of the university life and learn what is on the minds of the lecturers or what is currently happening in the institute. We are also always open to problems, uncertainties, and answering questions about organization of studies or university life.
We delegate two student representatives to the Student Council General Assembly, in which we advocate the interests of media studies. We are also part of the Institute of Media Studies’ Advisory Board and maintain contact with the Brechtbauplenum, though we are not part of it ourselves.
At the beginning of every winter semester, we offer an orientation week for new students to get to know the city, the university and each other. We also organise events that enable students and faculty staff to look beyond the horizon of daily university life, for instance with the series “media professionals up close”: in a relaxing atmosphere, media workers in practice talk about their experiences and everyday work. Moreover, these media workers regularly offer practical workshops that are organized by our student council. These include photography courses or financial planning during your studies.
