Committees
Since 2019, the student parliament has been organized into committees that meet independently, work on their respective topics, and then bring them to the student parliament. Work in these committees is open to all members of the University of the Arts. Each committee collaborates on specific topics with at least one department within AStA and has its own contact person.
