Speaker Council / Student Government (SSR)

The Speaker Council / Student Government (SSR) implements what the Student Parliament decides. It represents the students of Uni Würzburg to the university management, the city, the student services organisation and the public. In most other German states, such a body is called AStA. During lecture time, the SSR meets every Tuesday from 18:00 in the stuv hub. The agenda is always very full, but if you have important and urgent concerns, you are of course welcome.
