Representative Bodies

From May 27 to 29, 2024, TU Dortmund University will hold elections for the Staff Councils of the Scientific and Artistic Employees. If they have not registered for the postal vote in advance, scientific and artistic employees can cast their vote here:

  • On May 27, 2024 on the South Campus (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) in GB 2
  • On May 28, 2024 on the North Campus (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) in the Audimax foyer
  • On May 29, 2024 on the North Campus (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) in the Audimax foyer

The task of the university’s various staff councils is to represent the concerns and interests of its staff at collective level vis-à-vis the university as the employer.

In many matters, the staff councils must be heard before a decision is made. However, it can also be the case that a decision on certain issues is only reached through joint consultation between the university as the employer and the staff council. The staff councils also help with the integration of foreign employees and work closely with groups representing young people, trainees and apprentices.

The General Student Committee (Allgemeiner Studierende represents the student body at the university and is therefore a kind of student “government”. The representatives are elected by the Student Parliament. The committee has a chairperson and officers for various tasks, such as university policy, culture and social affairs.

Apart from representing the students at TU Dortmund University, the General Student Committee offers a range of services. These include advice on student grants under the German Federal Training Assistance Act and on studying and jobs as well as legal advice and social counseling. It also offers accommodation and job placement services, a bicycle repair shop and information about the student ticket.
