Student Groups in Hohenheim
The students’ groups at the University of Hohenheim consist of a group with a minimum of seven students. Those groups are voluntarily, and all members can invest the time they have and want to invest. It is important though that as a member you made a commitment to this group because goals and concepts of the group want to be realized and accomplished. This is a space where you have the possibility to meet people with similar interests, exchange opinions but also learn and flourish as a person and an individual. It is important to understand that the thoughts and content shared by those groups in their social media not necessarily reflects the opinion of the University. There are different requirements that must be followed to create a group and the recognition of a student group must be granted by the student parliament AStA. There is a vast range of groups - religious, ecological, economic, social, and political. Officially there are 30 listed groups.
Some of them are listed here:
AIESEC
The abbreviation stands for: Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales and is an international student association that is present in more than 130 countries and universities. Every student can be part of the organization. The main purpose of AIESEC is to develop leadership and the intercultural exchange between young people through volunteering and joining internship programs abroad. For example, you could be part of the local committee in this case it is the AIESEC Stuttgart. With your membership you will take on different positions within the organization, gain practical experience in various areas and get to know the structures of an international organization along the way. Another possibility would be to make a volunteer stay abroad for 6 weeks or an internship for up to one year and take part of the local committee of the university that will host you abroad.
