At a decentralized level, the curriculum committees (Ausbildungskommissionen) attached to the departmental and institute councils play an important role. At least half of the members of the curriculum committee must be students and the committees are often chaired by students as well. They are responsible for

• Drafting and reviewing degree program concepts
• Discussing evaluation findings and
• Making decisions on new quality assurance measures.

You can find more information about the role of the curriculum committees in the Teilgrundordnung (“Supplemental Rules and Regulations”) and on your department or central institute website.
