General Student Committee

The General Student Commitee (Sprat) is the executive body of the Student Council. We are the contact persons for general enquiries to the Stuve and in this context also act as representatives of the entire student representation at FAU.

Among other things, we deal with the recognition of student university groups and are responsible for the budget planning of the student council. Together, we make sure that student requests are taken into account when decisions are made by the university.

If you have a concern, you are welcome to come to the meeting. However, we would like you to contact us by email beforehand so that we can inform you of any changes to the meeting time and place.

At the moment we meet weekly on Mondays, starting at 19.00 in Turnstraße 7, please see the brief meeting minutes for more details.

The easiest way to reach us is by email at stuve-sprat@fau.de. Please note that after the constituent meeting of the Student Council, the newly elected speakers are usually also on the mailing list, even if their term of office does not begin until October.

Chairpersons of the Student Council

Jonathan Birk

Hello, my name is Jonathan Birk.I am 20 years old and am in my fifth semester of law school, specializing in tax law. Together with Dennis Krause, I have the honor of chairing the Student Council for the 2025–2026 term. I am also the vice chair of the Erlangen-Nuremberg Juso university group. It is particularly important to me to keep university politics alive and to attract new, committed students to this important field. It is a privilege that we students have the opportunity to make our voices heard, represent our interests, and actively shape the future of our university. I want to help ensure that we stand up for our values, goals, and concerns together—with openness, motivation, and the determination to make a difference.

Dennis Krause

 Hey! I’m Dennis, studying Politics and Economics at the Faculty of Humanities. This October marked not only the start of my fifth semester but also my first term in the Sprat and the Student Parliament, which I co-chair together with Jona. At the same time, I’m involved in the Political Science Student Association (FSI Politik) and the Bavarian Student Council (BayStuRa), which brings together universities across Bavaria to work on important issues.
Recently, the construction situation has quickly become a key topic. That’s why I’m contributing to projects like “PhilFak is falling apart” to help build the platform “FAU is falling apart” for larger campaigns. Furthermore, with cuts at the state level threatening teaching and study quality, a well-organized student body is becoming more important than ever. That’s where my focus lies.

Senators

Ann-Sophie Scholl

Hey 😊 my name is Ann-Sophie, I’m studying human medicine and I’m in my third term in the Sprat. This year, I’m once again representing you in the Senate. I am also a delegate to the Bavarian State Student Council, a member of the ZGS and spokesperson for the FSV Med.
During this term of office, I would like to continue to work to ensure that no students feel excluded or discriminated against at the university and to do improve the network between the FSVs and students in Bavaria. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to write to me at any time. 😊

Vincent Hennecke

Hi, I’m Vincent and I’m studying for a master’s degree in cell and molecular biology. My goal is to make FAU a place where studying, working, and living in everyday university life is truly enjoyable again.We are all familiar with the current situation: dilapidated buildings, closed lecture halls, and a tight budget that causes uncertainty and frustration.That’s why I’m involved in the university-wide student council, the senate, and the student convention, as well as at the faculty level in the Faculty of Science. My goal is to ensure that the voice of the students is loud and heard at all levels.Only together can we make FAU the place where we all want to study. Let’s get started!
