At HTU, the Department for Education and Politics is responsible for academic legal advice. We consist of volunteer students and deal with everything related to higher education and education policy.
Our core tasks include representing and advising students on academic law, as well as preparing academic legal knowledge through workshops for student representatives and students. Furthermore, we always keep an eye on current university and higher education law amendments and draft statements and press releases regarding student-relevant changes. We are in close contact with various stakeholders and advocate for students’ rights with them. Additionally, we support other organizational units within HTU with (educational) political agendas.
