Departmental Student Council

We’re Fey, Anna, Mandana, James, Emily, Joy, Marleen, and Franziska, your student representatives for Cognitive Science. We’re thrilled to welcome you—the new Bachelor's in "Kognitionswissenschaften" and Master's in Cognitive Science!
As your student reps, we're here to make your onboarding at Uni Potsdam as smooth as possible. Throughout your study program, we're here to answer any of your questions as best as we can, organize fun events, and act as a bridge between you and your lecturers. If you have any questions, problems, or just want to connect with your fellow students, please feel free to reach out to us via email at cosec-studentrepuuni-potsdampde or come talk to us in person.

Our student council currently consists of six committed members and will be expanded to eight after the next elections. We are all studying for a two-subject Bachelor's degree, which means that we have to take another subject in addition to Educational Science. This structure brings with it a particular diversity: almost every member has a different second subject, which makes us a particularly heterogeneous and diverse group. Our primary goal is to represent the interests and concerns of our fellow students. We are highly committed to their interests and are active at many university events. We also promote community and exchange through various events, such as parties, picnics and games evenings for the educational scientists on our degree program. Overall, we are constantly working to create a supportive and vibrant community in which all students feel welcome.

Hey you!
We’re glad you dropped by.
You might still be a bit nervous at the moment and have many questions about university studies. But don’t worry. That is completely normal and the uncertainty will subside in one or two weeks.
We, the Fachschaftsrat Geoökologie, are here to help you master the start of your studies.  We are Geoecology students, just like you.
It is our personal goal to ensure that you have fun and succeed in your studies. To that end, we represent the degree program in university committees. We also organize recreational events where you can meet fellow Geoecology students from all semesters. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you encounter any problems. We are here to help!
