Advice for doctoral students
Representing interests within your faculty
The most important decision-making body of each faculty within Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg are the faculty boards. The tasks of the Faculty Board include consultation and decision-making on the use of faculty resources such as material resources, personnel, etc. Fundamental questions of research and teaching within the faculty are decided in the Faculty Board. These include, among other things, proposals for the introduction, amendment and cancellation of courses of study, including subjects of study, and the enactment and amendment of examination and study regulations.
Within a faculty board all status groups (university lecturers, academic staff, academic support staff, students) are presented. The group of scientific employees includes doctoral candidates as well as scientists employed at the OVGU. They elect their representatives to the faculty board and the senate every four years.
The elections are conducted as online elections. For more information, please contact the OVGU Election Office.
