What does the student council (FSR) stand for?

The FSR is generally a student representative body. In our case, for the student council of Biology, Chemistry and Nutritional Science (BCE in german).  As the FSR, we represent the interests of students in university policy committees, such as the Institute Council or the Examination Board. However, we can also address problems as an anonymous student representative body to the lecturers and then work with them to find a good solution for everyone involved. So if there is something that is on your mind regarding your studies, we can be the first point of contact for you.

Our self-image:

We also want to live a cozy, cordial coexistence. We are therefore always happy to see new faces at our events and meetings!

Statutes and election regulations:

The statutes determine the internal organization of the FSR BCE. Changes are voted on annually at the general assembly. Every student of the student council has the right to propose and vote at this meeting.

The election rules regulate how the student council should be composed and how the election is conducted. Changes are voted on annually at the plenary assembly. Every student of the student council has the right to nominate and vote at this meeting. In order to become a member of the FSR BCE, however, you can generally be elected at the annual elections or be associated during the official meetings. 

FSR meetings:

We as the FSR meet regularly for joint meetings. Among other things, we exchange information from university committees, plan future events and deal with concerns brought to us by students and lecturers. Our meetings are open to the public. Visitors are always welcome.

The procedure for all meetings and the FSR BCE General Assembly is governed by our meeting guidelines. You are strongly encouraged to take a look at it! It will help you to follow the meetings more easily and make it easier for all of us to stay constructive.

Things that are outside our sphere of influence:

We are always happy if we can help you with any problems that arise. However, there are certain limits to what we can do. 

For example, we can't usually make any real changes to the overlapping of courses in your timetables, as we can't have much influence on the teachers' planning. Teachers also usually have little influence on the timetables, as these are planned centrally in coordination for all degree programs at an institute.
