The department of higher education politics has an interface function for all political interest-groups and has the duty of monitoring all matters concerning internal, state-level and federal political and legislative actions concerning education. Fostering of regional and over-regional student body networks and relationships, such as student body conferences, is another main goal.

Monitoring political decisions on the matter of education consists of enormous investigative efforts to ensure an outcome that benefits the interests of students. Other duties are:

• Organisation of lectures and events crucial for scientific research
• Support for autonomous student lectures
• Scientific and journalistic publication of papers taking a critical view on education

All students are encouraged to submit topics, ideas and criticism concerning politics and especially political education.
