Overview
Study Buddy
In our mentoring program we bring German and international students together. As a German buddy you support your buddy in arriving in Germany and on your campus. You can find detailed information on the Study Buddy Program page.
The Administrative Board is a supervisory body of the Studentenwerk SH. It consists of representatives of the universities. Each university sends two representatives for every 3,000 or so students belonging to it, one of whom is a student elected by the student parliament; the other is a university teacher elected by the university senate or a person from the state of Schleswig-Holstein.
The Executive Board, the executive body of the Studentenwerk SH, reports to the Administrative Board on current work and prepares the necessary resolutions of the Administrative Board, such as the annual report and the business plan. Its members include the managing director, the chairman of the board and two students with equal rights.
The participation of the Administrative Board is manifold. For example, the Board of Directors decides on the election of the members of the Executive Board and the management (after prior presentation to the Board) or on their dismissal and discharge. It approves the business plan, the acquisition of real estate, the taking out of loans (over 100,000 euros), the assumption of guarantees or the joining of associations or companies.
As a rule, the Board of Directors meets once per semester. The term of office is three years. Re-election for a second term is possible.
The student representatives on the Administrative Board are elected by the Student Parliament, the other representatives by the Senate of the respective university.

In our dormitories in Schleswig-Holstein, student dormitory councils are involved in organizing life together within the dormitories and designing and managing the communal facilities. The dormitory councils are contact persons for the dormitory residents and support especially students with disabilities and international students. As self-governing bodies, they determine how the money available to them is used.
In addition, the dormitory councils send representatives to the "Student Housing" Board of Trustees, to the Central Admissions Committee of the Student Union, and to general dormitory admissions committees. Through these committees, the dorm councils can work with the Studentenwerk SH to shape the dorms in Schleswig-Holstein.
If you are interested in helping to shape your dorm, contact your Heimrat. The election of the Heimrat takes place at the general assemblies.
Students who find themselves in financial difficulties can receive a loan from the Studentenwerk SH so that they can continue or complete their studies. Our loan guidelines specify who can apply for a loan and under what conditions. An allocation committee then discusses the applications submitted once a month and makes a recommendation to our management as to which applications should be approved. The allocation committee consists of 4 members (plus substitute members) and half of them must be students.
We are always looking for new student members and substitute members for this allocation committee!
Your involvement in the allocation committee means
- You take part in the allocation committee meeting once a month at the Student Life Counselling Centre in Kiel (mainly in presence).
- Duration: approx. 1 to 1.5 hours
- The dates will be arranged in consultation with you and all members.
- You are committed to helping students who are in financial difficulties.
- You are part of genuine student co-determination (equal representation).
