The old office term is over, the new one is coming and somehow there is no difference in our work. You can read an overview of the current topics and upcoming projects in this email. Further below in the newsletter you can find the introduction texts of the new members of the Speakers' Council as well as a short introduction of most of the delegates in the Student Council. A special focus this time is on the Department for Teaching and Studies, as well as the planned Ultimate Student Conference on 08.11.2023.  Read more...

For all those who are new to studying at FAU - and also for those who have been doing so for some time - the lecture period begins with the creation of a timetable. In this guide you can find out exactly how this works via the campo page and which stumbling blocks you have to avoid.  Read more...

For first semester students and those who would like to be, there will be two bike tours on Oct. 15 through Erlangen and on Oct. 20 in the surrounding area with the ADFC and the student representatives. Perfect for all those who want to get to know the bike paths, interesting facts about Erlangen and their student representatives.  Read more...

This year, in addition to the Speakers, we also want to take a closer look at the elected members of the Student Council. If you've always wanted to find out who your faculty delegates are and what they stand for, you can find out here.  Read more...

Hey! I'm Emil, 21 years old and I'm studying Physical Geography for my Bachelor's degree. I have been elected chairperson of the Student Council for this term. I am also a member of the Speakers' Council and the ZGS.

What has always been clear to me: the Student Council is a more than important committee for us students - we can be heard by the head of the University and really really get processes rolling. I am very much looking forward to the the task of continuing to represent and support you!

It is incredibly fun for me to work in these committees for better, more flexible and fairer studies. I will continue to fight for equality, solidarity and co-determination - in every regard!

Hello, I am a 7th semester physics student and am very much looking forward to working in the Student Council and Speakers' Council!

I am particularly interested in improving the study conditions. For example, last semester I strongly advocated for the abolition of the third attempt rule - here the discussion is still in full swing.

In addition to the Student Council and Speakers' Council, I am active in faculty-wide/department-wide committees. For example I am also organizing the "Echt oder Fake", which will take place on November 14 starting at 6pm in H11 in the Math building. :)

Best regards, Leon

Hey 😊 my name is Ann-Sophie (she/her), I study medicine and I am in my second term in the Speakers' Council. After chairing the Student Council for the last 8 months, I will represent your voice as a student senator this year. I am also a delegate in the Bavarian State Student Council and a member of the ZGS and the Medical Faculty Council.

In my time in office, I would like to get more involved in the topic of examination attempts and improve networking opportunities between the Student Councils in Nuremberg and the surrounding area. If you have any concerns and questions, you are welcome to contact me at any time. 😊

Your Ann-Sophie

This year I'm reporting back right at the beginning of my term of office and not after half a year on the Speakers' Council ;)

In recent years, I have already worked in many areas of student representation, but this year, as an elected member of the FAU Senate, I can get to know a new aspect of FAU. I'm really looking forward to representing the student perspective there as well and standing up for our interests.

In addition to organizing various events at the TechFak, as well as the Faculty Council there, I will also be involved university-wide in the Student Council and the Central Committee for Student Grants. I will also continue my efforts to further standardize and simplify the way the Stuve works.

Your Christian

Hello ;) My name is Alina Abel (she/her) and I am studying medicine in Erlangen-Bayreuth in the 4th semester. Now in the winter semester I plan to write the Physikum.

So far I have been active in the FSI Medizin and am helping to organize the lecture series this semester. I'm new to the FSV and would like to get involved a lot more in student affairs, as I'm moving to Bayreuth after the 5th semester as Bayreuth medicine major. I want to continue to get involved from there and hope to gain a lot of insight into university politics in my first term in office.

In general, I like to plan and organize and look forward to a good exchange with you and your requests.

Hello all! Very briefly a few words about myself: I'm Gwyn Thomas, 23 and a native of Escherndorf. This semester I'm aiming for my bachelor's degree in physics. Last semester I joined the FSV Nat through the RCDS. From there I went on to the Student Council, and after some time settling in I also joined the Sprat.

I will still attend the Sprat this semester. Time has shown that the Sprat is the best place to understand the general concerns of the students and to advocate for them. It is also important to me to support my newfound friends in the Stuve with everyday work and other events. I am looking forward to working with the old and new Spratis this semester.

Feel free to come up to me as well, no matter what it's about.

A new semester is coming up and for some of you it's your first semester at FAU. But no matter what semester you're in, a great way to get to know other students and have cool experiences is through university groups! We offer everything a student needs to survive, from a wide range of activities, opportunities and chances to a great atmosphere and amazing people.

That's why we advise you: just drop by our introduction event at the Roter Platz on October 18 between 10 am and 3 pm or go directly to a meeting of the university group of your choice. We are always happy to welcome new people!  Read more...

From October 1 to October 15 you can send us suggestions for failed reforms, lousy law changes, unfair examination conditions and "fails" of the state judicial examination offices etc. from the last 3 years by mail/contact form. From the ten most frequently mentioned incidents we will form a shortlist - the Hall of Shame of legal education.  Read more...

Convincing other people with precise arguments is not only an important skill in life, but also incredibly fun. During our weekly debates at the FAU Debating Society, we practice exactly this: Participants receive a previously unknown motion and a randomly assigned position in favor or against. They have 15min, together with their team partner, to develop compelling arguments as well as an on-point delivery.

During our freshers' nights on Oct. 17th and 24th (18:00 c.t., 0.04 PSG, Kochstraße 6a), we give you an initial overview over competitive debating and practice first argumentation and public speaking techniques. Interested? Then come and see for yourself or join our WhatsApp group.  Read more...
