The StEx

In addition to the legislative bodies Student Parliment (StuPa) and Student Representative's Council (FSR), the StuVe also has the Student Committee, for the concrete implementation of its tasks, in addition to the specialist bodies that are involved in the faculty. Similar to ministries, the Student Committee has different departments with its own areas of responsibility, its own budget and sometimes "personnel".

The Ulmer StEx corresponds as far as possible to the General Student Committee (AStA) as it is known from other federal states. However, the local student representation decided on a different name, as the term "AStA" had acquired a completely different meaning due to its history in Baden-Württemberg.

Members of the StEx

The Executive Committee (StEx) consists of (at least) 6 persons elected by the Student Parliment (StuPa) with an absolute majority. The chairpersonship is also determined by the StuPa, as is the expense allowance of the StEx.
In principle, any student of Ulm University can become a member of the StEx - the only restriction being that they must not be a StuPa member at the same time.


Currently, the StEx consists of the following members, the departments are allocated by the current team itself:

  • Jette Kirsch (election on 21.05.2025)

Departments of the StEx

  • Teaching:
    Like the student associations in the faculty, the StEx keeps an eye on the quality of teaching at the university level and, among other things, coordinates the work in committees such as the Senate Teaching Committee. Excellence in teaching can bring about the greatest accomplishments.
  • Culture & Education:
    StuVe's tasks include events ranging from university parties to cinema programmes, from cabaret evenings to political education or the promotion of a sense of social responsibility. A bored mind can't be productive.
  • Interior & Exterior:
    This includes representing the student body vis-à-vis the Studentenwerk, the Präsidium, local, national and international students as well as publications on the homepage and in the rumour kitchen or promoting various events and offers to the students. A silent opinion is never heard.
  • Human Resources & Law:
    The whole offer of the StuVe is supervised by speakers and aides to our departments. All personnel matters and legal questions are assigned to this department. It's always better to be safe and sound.
  • Finances:
    Financial planning and administration are handled by this department. In the end nothing works without a good cashflow.
  • Infrastructure:
    The entire infrastructure managed by StuVe, i.e. rooms, facilities and IT, is organised in this area. Nothing beats a quiet, clean and cozy place for learning in peace.
  • Service & consulting:
    This department was subdivided into the areas of responsibility of the others, including everything from the bicycle repair shop to advice on BAföG, studying with disabilities, social affairs and equal opportunities to the semester ticket. Rest assured, everything is still looked after with our highest attention.
