Welcome to the Fachschaft!

Welcome to the Fachschaft! The Fachschaft offers you, the students, the opportunity to help shape and improve your studies and teaching. We discuss topics such as the structure of the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes, the improvement and evaluation of the course offerings, and much more. We also organise the traditional first-year events and the department’s social gatherings. 

We’re always here to help if you have any questions about your studies or if there’s something on your mind. You can speak to us directly or simply pop into our Fachschaft room, 214, which is located in the passageway leading to the ‘Jüngere Abteilung’ collection. If you have any issues, you’re welcome to raise them at the student council meeting – which is open to everyone – or submit them anonymously in writing by popping a note into our suggestion box on the door of the student council room. You can also just send us an email at fachschaft.ufg@ifu.uni-tuebingen.de! We've also got an instagram account, you can find us as @fachschaft_ufg_amanz_ina :)

You’re also very welcome to become part of our team by simply attending our meetings and helping us shape everyday student life. 

 

Current meeting time: Tuesdays at 6pm 
Room: 301
