Fachschaft of the English Department

The English Committee represents the English students and their views on all official university levels. We have representatives in the Department Council, the Faculty Council, the Student Council, and the AGEF. The committee primarily functions as a link between the students and the teaching staff. In doing so, its members organise meetings for first-semester students in order to successfully integrate them into the English department. In addition, all students of the English department are encouraged to attend the General Assembly of the English Fachschaft, which is held regularly at the beginning of the semester.

For any questions, don't hesitate to contact us: fs-english@unifr.ch

We also have a WhatsApp group chat for all students of the English department (see our Instagram page for details)
