Tasks#

The FSR represents the student council, e.g. vis-à-vis lecturers, the faculty and the institute. It also regularly exchanges information with other UP student councils in the VeFa and manages the student council's finances.
Each FSR decides for itself what specific work it carries out. Over time, however, tasks have developed that each FSR traditionally takes on and carries out. These tasks are in addition to various information campaigns, as well as talks, research, discussions and elaborations to answer individual questions, solve acute problems and initiate or steer long-term developments:

    • Halloween party
    • Christmas party
    • Spring Festival

Prospective students and first-year students#

  • Answering questions from prospective students to the online mentors
  • Organizing the first days of the Bachelor's and Master's degrees and welcoming students to the preliminary math course: all students are familiar with them, but for the members of the FSR, they are probably the most time-consuming task in many respects every year. Quite a few of them outgrow themselves during this time
