Volunteering
The palette of volunteering opportunities in Marburg is broad and colorful. It ranges from accompanying and supporting senior citizens, teens or children, or volunteer work in the cultural sector to involvement in supporting refugees. Social commitment is particularly important for students: You get to know the people and where they are doing their degree program, you will feel at home more quickly and gain experience that will benefit you later in life outside university.
Student councils
If you want to get involved in university politics, the student council is your first stop. Formally speaking, as an enrolled student, you are automatically a member of your department’s student council because a student council is made up of all of the students in the respective department. In common usage, however, this term refers only to the group of students who are actually actively involved in university politics in the department.
