Further Departments of the Asta

Here you can find further departments of the AStA.

Department for University Policy

As “HoPo”, we network the AStA within the university, as well as regionally and nationally with other university policy committees and student bodies throughout Germany, in particular within the North Rhine-Westphalia Student Union (LAT NRW) and the Free Association of Student Unions (fzs e.V.). We also deal with various local political issues, organize discussion and information events and work for you at the festival contre le racisme.

IT-Referat

Both students and AStA staff depend on a reliably functioning IT infrastructure. We try to achieve this goal through our work in the IT department. We are the contact persons in the AStA when it comes to new computers, software installations, the homepage and the like. We act as a link between the departments, the chair and the admins. Furthermore, we work on the digital policies of the AStA.

Department of Public Relations

As the Department for Public Relations, we represent the AStA of the University of Bonn to the outside world. We see ourselves as a link between the AStA and the students. We manage the AStA's social media channels and provide you with all the important information about the AStA and university politics. We offer free flyer advice for student cultural groups (for more information, see 'Flyer advice'). In addition, the Public Relations Office also organizes its own events, such as the student night flea market and the Prostseminar in cooperation with the Studierendenwerk and bonnFM.
