What is the ÖH and what tasks does it have?

The Austrian National Union of Students is the legal representative of all students and has legally enshrined co-determination rights at universities. Once you have been admitted to your degree program and paid the membership fee (currently EUR 24.70), you automatically become a member of the ÖH.
Our main task is to represent your interests to teaching staff and the public.
In addition, we advise and inform you on study-related topics and offer you many other services that support you during and alongside your studies.

How is the ÖH structured?

In order to best represent your interests, the ÖH is active for you on three levels:

Federal
Representation (BV)

The Federal Representation (BV) is the highest body of the ÖH. Based in Vienna, it represents all students in nationwide matters, especially before the Federal Minister of Education, Science and Research, the Parliament and the Federal Government.

University
Representation (UV)

The University Student Representation (UV) is the highest level of the ÖH at a specific university. It represents the students vis-a-vis the university management (rectorate, senate, university council) and the local or regional public.

Student
Representation (StV)

The Study Representatives (StV) represent the interests of the students of your degree program in Curriculum and Appellate Commissions and helps you with all questions concerning your specific studies.
