Students' Union (AStA)

The AStA is not only available to all students as a contact for concerns, problems or needs, but also serves as the official interest representation of the Greifswald student body, both in the university's political bodies and externally. At the same time, the AStA officers are actively involved in supporting student culture in Greifswald, for example through the organisation or financial support of cultural activities and events.

The Students' Union (AStA) consists of 13 representatives in the areas of university policy, administration, social affairs, study organisation and culture. Topics such as the improvement of study conditions, efforts to create a sustainable university, gender equality for all students and political education are among our areas of responsibility. You yourself study at the University of Greifswald and are actively involved in the concerns of the student body.

We organise numerous events and lectures for students. These include the Freshers' Weeks, the 24-hour lecture and the Long Night of Learning. We also manage the student body's funds in order to promote the preservation and expansion of student culture in Greifswald, for example.

The AStA is elected annually at the beginning of the summer semester by the Student Parliament (StuPa). However, it is quite possible that some departments (Departments) are not occupied at that time. You can apply for these if they are called for proposals. This application must also be elected by the StuPa. As the student parliament meets every two weeks, the application will be considered very quickly.
