Austrian Students' Association

The Austrian Students' Union by statutory body (German: Österreichische Hochschülerinnen- und Hochschülerschaft, ÖH) is the general students' representative body in Austria and serves as the students' government by federal law. The ÖH is a member of the European Students' Union. Membership in the ÖH is compulsory for every university student in Austria, including PhD candidates, thus representing more people then living in the smaller Austrian states.

In Austrian politics, its national parliament, formally called the Federal Representation, is very often just referred to as essentially pars pro toto the entire statutory body itself.

It is often viewed as the most promising political training ground for future lawmakers. Many former active elected members end up in parliament or government later on.
