The Students’ Union represents your concerns before the university, university of applied sciences (FH), university college of teacher education (PH) or private university (PU) at which you study. The ÖH negotiates with the university rectorate and appoints a representative to the highest body of the university, the senate. In the senate, the ÖH participates in designing university policies and processes such as the curricula.
