Student Organizations and Departmental Student Committees
The University of Mannheim has much to offer beyond academics. Our departmental student committees and student organizations shape university life. They organize events and talks, support social projects, and promote ideas. There are so many groups and organizations that there is something for everyone.
The general student committee at the university (AStA)
The general student committee (AStA) is the political student body representative at the University of Mannheim and is democratically elected. The board and the seven department heads are directly elected by the student parliament and represent the interests of all students at university, regional and state level.
