9.1.1 Student Committees in the faculties | Fachschaften
In every faculty there is a particularly active group of students which is referred to as Fachschaftsinitiative. The group represents students' interests in the institutes and departments belonging to the faculty. It cooperates with the departmental Academic Committee (Fachbereichsrat) and its sub-committees. Senior members organize the annual Orientation Week and campus tours for new students/freshmen.
During the semester, members of the Student Committees hold counselling sessions where students are given useful information on organizing their studies and on everyday life at university. Besides, the Committees also organize excursions and parties such as the "Semesterfrühstück" (semester breakfast), and occasional mentoring programmes as, for example, at the Institute of Philosophy and the Faculty of Medicine.
