Warum wählen gehen? Die Hochschulwahlen sind deine Chance, aktiv Einfluss auf das Leben an der FH Aachen zu nehmen. Ob Prüfungsordnungen, Studienbedingungen oder das kulturelle Angebot.

Mit deiner Wahl stärkst du zudem demokratische Strukturen und verhinderst antidemokratische Einflüsse an unserer Hochschule.
