All enrolled students of a subject or a subject group belong to the subject student body (Fachschaft). You are a member in our Fachschaft if you study "Language, Technology and Media" (B.Sc.), "Phonetics" (B.A. minor or M.A.), "Natural Language Processing" (M.Sc.) or "Digital Humanities" (M.Sc.) at the University of Trier. Our subject student body includes roughly 130 students at any given time.

The student council (Fachschaftsrat, or shortform: FSR) is elected by the entire subject student body for one year. It represents the student body towards the lecturers and the administration, organizes first-year orientations, events and much more. The FSR is a way to give the students a legitimate, subject-related voice. But it is no ivory tower. If you feel like getting involved, if you like organizing things or are curious about interdisciplinary student work and university internals, just come to one of our meetings or write to us!

The FSR also has voting rights in the AFaT (Autonomous Student Council Meeting – Autonomes Fachschaften-Treffen) of the University of Trier. There, all active FSR from all departments coordinate their activities, pay attention to common issues and a fair distribution of funds for events and purchases, and are thus directly involved in the governing work of the constituted student body.
