Students Representative Body
Faculty of Society and Economics
What is the Faculty’s Student Body?
The faculty’s student body defines itself through the members of each specific faculty. Students enrolled in each specific faculty are therefore part of the faculty’s student body.
(Example: If you are enrolled in the study course ‘International Business and Social Sciences’ you are automatically member of the Faculty of Society and Economics.)
At Rhine-Waal University of Applied Science, each faculty has its own student body. Thus, the Bachelor and Master courses of International Business and Social Sciences, International Relations, Taxation and Law, Gender and Diversity, Early Childhood Education, Sustainable Tourism, Economics and Finance and Sustainable Developement Management define the ‘Student Body of the Faculty of Society and Economics’.
Who are the Faculty Student Representatives and what are their tasks?
The Faculty Student Representatives (FSR) represents the student body of the faculty.
The FSR thereby has a specific number of elected members from the students of the faculty. The total number of elected members is derived by the following formula: At least 5 members with 1 additional member for every 100 enrolled students in the faculty.
(Example: If the Faculty of Society and Economics has 700 enrolled students, the FSR has 12 elected members.)
In many German Federal Lands and also at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Science, the FSR represents a legal organ of the constituted student body with own monetary means, which are raised by the tuition fees.
The FSR is responsible for all kinds of affairs of the students enrolled in the faculty. It is thereby the interface between the public and the students, as well as the faculty and the students.
Further Information to the FSR and its tasks can be found in the Constitution of the FSR Society and Economics, the Constitution of the Student Parliament (StuPa), and the Regulations for Elections. All documents are in German.

Thereby, we always try to respond as quick as possible to any requests, but if a request requires the majority decision of the members it can take a little longer to get an answer.
