How to nominate – Start of the nomination phase for the VS elections

🗓 4. May 2026

The nomination period for this year’s VS elections has begun!

You’ve decided to run as a candidate in the VS elections, but you’re not sure what you need to do?

No worries, we’ll walk you through it step by step.

First, you need to decide which body you’d like to run for. Are you interested in the Faculty Council, the VS Council, or the Senate? Or maybe all of them at once? The choice is yours.

Once you’ve made your decision, come visit us at the VS office (room m001) in the Modulbau. We’re happy to help you there.

We’ll do our best to have the VS office staffed during lecture hours throughout the nomination period. If no one is there when you stop by, please check the opening hours posted on the door or try again during the lunch break from 1:15 PM to 2:15 PM.

Make sure to bring your HdM student ID!

After Lengthy Negotiations: No Nationwide Semester Ticket – Framework Conditions Not Feasible

🗓 12. February 2025

The VS Council of the Hochschule der Medien decided on February 5, 2025, not to introduce the nationwide semester ticket under the full solidarity model. Despite the initial approval for its introduction in March 2024, further negotiations revealed that implementation under the given conditions was not feasible. The decision is based on two key factors: significant organizational challenges and economic considerations that make the model unattractive for many students.

In this article, we explain the background of the decision, the key arguments, and our stance on student mobility. We call for a sustainable solution at the state or federal level that does not place the responsibility for such a ticket solely on student bodies.

Nationwide Semester Ticket

🗓 19. December 2023

From summer semester 2024, all students will be able to purchase a discounted Deutschlandticket for €29.40 per month.

Sounds great, right? unfortunately there’s a catch:

This ticket will only be available on a full solidarity model. This means that all students at the university will receive this ticket and therefore have to pay a higher semester contribution.

That’s why we as a student body have to decide whether we want to introduce this ticket at the HdM.
