ASTA – ALLGEMEINER
STUDIERENDENAUSSCHUSS
In the AStA, each speaker works on different topics: in addition to the administrative speakers, some speakers take care of events and those who advise and represent students. We represent the interests of all students, and we always have an open ear for you. No matter whether you have problems with your exams or lecturers, whether you are planning an event or want to discuss something else.
You can find the protocols of our meetings here: https://www.uni-rostock.de/universitaet/vertretungen-und-beauftragte/studierendenvertretungen/asta-protokolle/.
