ÖH - Student Association

Who are we and what are we here for?

We are the Student Association (StuV) of the Anton Bruckner Private University Linz. As StuV, we represent the interests of students to the University Executive Management and are committed to a fair and tolerant community. We are the point of contact for suggestions, requests, ideas and complaints – but we also have all kinds of information, for example, about events, stays abroad or the must-see places in Linz.

You can find us in room 2.303 on the second floor next to the large lecture hall. We can also be reached at any time via email at the following address: stuvtyrbrucknerunirat

Appointments can also be arranged at this email address.

In order to respond to students' requests even more specifically and effectively, we are organised in two groups: the university representation and the student representatives.

University representation

We represent the interests of students in the Senate, the Academic Committee, the Institute Conferences, the Appointment Committee, the Scholarship Committee, the Quality Assurance Committee, the Development Conferences and the Equity Committee, and we are in contact with the Bruckner University Ombuds Office.

University Representation - Chair (term of office 2023/24)

Student representatives

We student representatives are the first point of contact for anything you may have on your mind. Each degree programme is represented by one or two students. You can come to us with personal concerns and questions about the institute, and we will be happy to help.
