Organization

AStA and StuPA

The General Student Committee (AStA) is the executive body of the student representation at the Academy. It represents the students' interests politically within the Kunstakademie as well as externally.

Student-led initiatives are organized in units and working groups on topics such as anti-discrimination, mentoring projects, the AStA-run exhibition space, and the social space "AStA-Cafe". Every year, towards the end of the summer semester, all permanently enrolled students of the Academy have the opportunity to elect student representatives.

The Student Parliament (StuPA), as well as the delegates who represent the students in the departmental committees and in the Senate, are elected. The Student Parliament (StuPA) elects representatives from its own ranks to the General Student Committee (AStA). All permanently enrolled students at the Kunstakademie are able to run for student council on a voluntary basis.

The meetings of the AStA and StuPA take place weekly during the semester and every two weeks during the semester break. The meetings are public and can be attended by all students. If you have any questions or are interested in attending, please write to us at asta [​at​] kunstakademie-duesseldorf.de.
