University elections

In the university elections, the group representatives in the senate, the faculty council and the student convention are elected directly by the members of the university.

The importance of the elections results from the function of these commitees for academic self-administration. The representatives of full-time university lecturers, assistant professors, artistic staff and doctoral students, academic and artistic staff (every two years) and students (every year) are to be elected.

The university elections will take place this year from 10 June (12 noon) to 17 June 2026 (12 noon) as an electronic election.

Only students are voting this year.
