At the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar the students manage themselves. The highest student body is the StudierendenKonvent (StuKo). In 2003, a reform of the student representation took place by means of a strike ballot. The previously known Student Council (StuRa) became the StuKo. Students therefore only elect their student representatives, the StuKo is no longer directly elected. The student representatives of the individual faculties each delegate four of their members to the StuKo. This model is unique in Germany and is only used at the Bauhaus-University Weimar.
