Central bodies of the student body are the Student Parlia­ment and the General Student Committee. 

The student parlia­ment is elected by the student body and decides on the basic affairs of the student body inclu­ding the statutes (legis­la­tive body). It has the follo­wing tasks in particular:

• Elec­tion and desel­ec­tion of its executives
  
• Adop­tion of the budget

The student parlia­ment consists of 8 members of the student body. At the first meeting of the respec­tive term of office, the student parlia­ment elects a execu­tive body from among its members, consis­ting of a presi­dent, vice-presi­dent and secre­tary. The execu­tive body is respon­sible for the prepa­ra­tion and follow-up of the meetings of the student parlia­ment as well as for the proper conduct of the meetings. The student parlia­ment can set up advi­sory committees.

The student parlia­ment sets up advi­sory commit­tees, which are respon­sible to the student parlia­ment for their acti­vi­ties. The day-to-day busi­ness is conducted by the General Student Committee (execu­tive body); the chairman of the GSC repres­ents the student body both intern­ally and extern­ally. Their tasks include in particular:

• Contact person for problems and requests
• Inter­faces between profes­sors and students
• Orga­ni­sa­tion of own internal univer­sity events
• Orga­niza­tion of the commit­tees initiated by the student parliament

The consti­tuted student body provides elected student members for the Senate.
