Student Council (StuRa)

The Student Council (short "StuRa") is your student representation at the TU Dresden. At present, about 30 students are volunteering at StuRa and work for all 30,000 students on campus. In addition to the student councils of every faculty (FSR), which are responsible for issues concerning individual first-semester-programmes, we are also important for student co-determination and the shaping of campus life.

Events for your study programme

Some of the courses for your degree programme are compulsory courses, so you should definitely attend them. These are where groups are divided up, important announcements are made or material is distributed. But the other events are also worthwhile to meet new people from your programme and to get an overview of the campus and your studies. For example, there are campus tours or events for building a timetable.

On the website of TU Dresden you will find a link to the events for your course of study. Some of the pages also contain the dates of the student council, but not always. That's why we also have a list of the event pages of the FSRä.
