The Austrian Students' Union (“Österreichische HochschülerInnenschaft” – ÖH) represents all students studying in Austria. It is completely independent and autonomous. On the one hand, it represents the students' interests politically vis-à-vis the ministry and the university authorities; on the other hand, it provides services for Austrian and international students.
