Structure

“AStA” is the abbreviation for ‘Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss’. The AStA is the executive body of the student body and is elected and controlled by the student parliament. The student parliament, or “StuPa” for short, is in turn elected by all students every year.
Some areas of responsibility are anchored in Schleswig-Holstein's Higher Education Act and must be part of the AStA, while others depend on the respective coalition of university groups in the StuPa and can change in terms of both area of responsibility and name.

Self-conception

The AStA is the elected body for the implementation of student interests. We see the AStA as a team that represents the students of the CAU and implements the resolutions of the student parliament. To this end, we develop our own proposals for solutions, negotiate with state politicians and the CAU Executive Board, carry out public relations work and also support all students individually.

We are the central point of contact for students who have problems with everyday student life, who need advice and for all those who want to actively shape the university - be it politically, culturally or in relation to various events. Our professional, but of course free, counseling services will help you with general questions about your studies, problems with BAföG, legal issues, queer issues, if you are studying with a child or with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, as well as with right-wing motivated attacks.

We are committed to an emancipatory and diverse concept of education. This is why we in the AStA also bring issues to the university that are socially relevant and topical. We firmly oppose sexism, racism and other forms of discrimination and leave no room for them within our own structures.

Public relations and publications

Whether on our Facebook page, Instagram, here on the AStA homepage or via Stumails, whether on flyers and posters, in our publications or in person at our offices (Infopunkt Mensa I, Beratungszentrum Leibnizstraße 15): We want to keep you informed about all the latest news from us and the entire university and about topics that concern you.
