How the ÖH works
The ÖH represents students on three connected levels: across Austria, across FH Salzburg, and within each study programme. Each level handles the issues closest to it, and they work together when a concern reaches further.
Across Austria · Federal representation (BV)
The ÖH Federal Representation brings student concerns to national decision-makers and works for better conditions for studying across Austria.
- Represents students nationwide
- Advocates for fair education policy and study laws
- Provides information and advice across Austria
At FH Salzburg · University representation (HV)
The Hochschulvertretung (HV) is the student voice across FH Salzburg. It brings student concerns to FH management and represents students in college-wide committees.
- Works for fair exam rules and better study conditions
- Organizes student services, counseling, events, and campaigns
- Connects programme representatives with FH-wide decision-makers
In your programme · Study representation (StV)
Your Studienvertretung (StV) is the closest point of contact: fellow students who know your programme and everyday study life.
- Helps with questions or problems involving courses and lecturers
- Advises on timetables, curricula, and exams
- Brings programme-specific concerns into the conversations where decisions are made
