The TU Wien Senate elections will take place on 27 May 2025. The Senate is one of the central bodies of the university management. All eligible members of the university are called upon to actively participate in shaping the future of TU Wien by casting their votes.

The role of the Senate

The Senate is one of the central governing bodies of TU Wien - alongside the Rectorate and the University Council. It is made up of representatives of academic staff, general university staff and students.

The main tasks of the Senate include

  • electing the Rectorate and participating in its appointment,
  • defining and amending the university's statutes
  • the co-design of curricula and the establishment or discontinuation of study programmes,
  • appointments to important committees and commissions, e.g. for professorial appointments.

Through its decisions, the Senate plays a decisive role in shaping the framework conditions for teaching, research and administration at TU Wien.
