Your Vote, Your FH!
The University Elections 2026

Why vote? The university elections are your chance to actively influence life at FH Aachen. Whether it’s about examination regulations, study conditions, or cultural activities. The elected representatives make decisions on issues that directly affect your daily life. Since voter turnout is often low, every single vote carries enormous weight. By voting, you also strengthen democratic structures and prevent anti-democratic influences at our university.

What your vote decides – An overview of the committees: 

  • Student Parliament (SP): You elect the highest decision-making body of the student body. The SP elects and monitors the AStA and decides on your semester fees as well as the budget (including the semester ticket).
  • Departmental Student Council (FSR): Your vote determines your direct representation within your department. The FSR is your first point of contact for problems; they provide academic advising and organize orientation weeks as well as events.
  • Senate: Here, you elect student representatives at the central university level. The Senate participates in the election of the Rectorate and decides on the fundamental constitution of FH Aachen.
  • Faculty Council (FBR): You decide who represents you in your department regarding examination regulations and the appointment of new professors.
  • SHK Representation: If you work as a student assistant, you elect your interest group here, which advocates for fair working conditions, holiday entitlements, and your rights as an employee.

May 18th – May 22nd, 2026. Don’t forget: Every vote counts! Precisely because voter turnout is often low, you can achieve maximum impact with minimal effort. Go vote: for better study conditions, your semester ticket, and a vibrant FH Aachen.
