The DSW Student Council helps shape the social and economic study conditions from a stronger student perspective. Its main work is co-operating in the development of political resolutions in which the students' perspective is taken into account.
Students involved in the organs of the Studentenwerke form a network via the DSW Student Council. They usually meet twice a year. Each Studentenwerk sends a student representative who works in one of the Studentenwerke’s organs.
The Student Council advises the organs of the DSW on all basic matters and has a right of petition at the general meeting. In most cases it also selects student representatives for the Executive Board.
