The Austrian National Union of Students (ÖH) is the legally mandated representative body for all university students in Austria. All full-time and non-degree students at Austrian universities are its members. Every two years, student representatives are elected by the students themselves in the ÖH elections.
Every Austrian university has its own student union. Hufak is the student union at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. It represents over 2,000 students at the university.
