Communication Science Student Body

We are the Student Council at the Institute for Communication Studies in Münster. As students, we help organize student life at the institute, plan events, and represent the interests of Communication Studies students vis-à-vis the institute and the university.

A large part of our work involves organizing events and activities for students. These include, above all, the orientation week for first-semester students at the start of the winter semester, as well as regular events such as parties, summer festivals, pub quizzes, and clothing swaps. These events bring together students from different semesters, allowing them to interact in a relaxed atmosphere.

In addition to organizing events, we’re also your go-to people for questions about your studies. If you’re unsure about something, have questions about the program structure, or need help with specific issues, feel free to reach out to us. Our services are available to both current students and high school students interested in pursuing a degree. For longer or more complex questions or concerns, the best way to reach us is by email; for quick contact, you can also easily reach us via Instagram. There, you’ll also get a direct glimpse into our daily life, event reminders, and the latest updates.

Our work takes place not only at the student council meetings themselves, but also in various committees at the institute and the university. There, we bring student perspectives to decisions regarding academic studies and teaching and help shape the conditions for studying.

Currently, the following individuals, among others, are active in the student council: Svea Brinkmann (Chair), Maximilian Wunschik and Hannah Motae Samy (Vice Chairs), and Luis Jung (Treasurer). Svea Brinkmann, Luis Jung, and Maximilian Wunschik serve on the Board of the Institute for Communication Studies. In addition to these formal roles, there are many other students who regularly contribute to the student council’s work and actively help shape it.

If you’d like to get involved yourself or simply get a sense of what we do, you’re welcome to join us anytime. Our meetings (Mondays at 6:00 p.m.) are open to anyone interested, whether you just want to check it out or get involved right away.

We have compiled a list of external initiatives that are particularly relevant to business administration students and where they can volunteer alongside their studies. This list can be viewed here.

Further information about the student council is available by email or on Instagram.
