Student represen­tatives
Physics & Meteorology

-FaRaPhy-

Who we are, what we do - and why you should participate.

The Student Repres­ent­at­ives of Physics and Meteor­o­logy are the elected repres­ent­at­ives of the students of our faculty.
Our faculty includes the studies of Physics, Meteor­o­logy, IPSP, Mathem­at­ic­al Physics and teach­ing profes­sion of physics. What does student repres­ent­at­ives mean? We are part of the commit­tees that officially organ­ize the studies. We organ­ise events to bring the students togeth­er. We support third-party projects finan­cially. We help students with problems during their studies. And we would be happy if you would like to become part of this excit­ing work.

Commit­tees

Saxony’s Higher Educa­tion Act stipu­lates that students may parti­cip­ate democrat­ic­ally in the organ­isa­tion­al processes of their univer­sity. In concrete terms, this means that members of FaRaPhy parti­cip­ate and vote in univer­sity and faculty committees.

Events

In order to contrib­ute to a varied student life at the faculty and the univer­sity, we also organ­ize various events every year.

Support

Wheth­er it’s student advice or problems with profess­ors or exams, you can come to us with any question. We are all students like you and know our faculty very well.
 
If you want to report problems to us anonym­ously, you can use our feedback tool.
