Orientation
We provide information on study contents, requirements and the application procedure. We help you sort through the information and come to a good decision. You can get an insight into our work at h-da.de/erleben (German).
Support
We advise on the following topics at all stages of study:
- Study goal(s) and strategies for success
- Resources
- Obstacles and ways of coping
- Exam organisation: workload per semester, learning strategies and technique(s), time management, motivation and concentration
- Doubts
- Interruption of studies
- Excessive demands and exhaustion
- Exam nerves
- Problems with lecturers
- private emergencies
We offer Study progress monitoring: After you have given your Einverständniserklärung (declaration of consent), we are given access to your exam results and invite you to a counselling interview if you have any problems. Further information on the programme can be found in issue 20 (German) of the University’s in-house newsletter, and on Youtube.
Advice from students & lecturers
Experts for individual study programmes also help with study orientation and provide support during studies. In addition, they are the first point of contact when it comes to planning your studies.
Events
Our offer (German) incorporates workshops, informational events, visits to school classes, school appointments & educational fairs.
