From 2024 to 2026, targeted measures will be taken to attract more women to STEM subjects, reduce the number of students dropping out and increase the transition rate to higher levels of education. The Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is planning to introduce an orientation course with integrated skills assessment in order to create tailored learning environments. In addition, the EU's Green Deal objectives are to be integrated into the degree course and the Fundamentale degree course is to have a practical and sustainable focus. With targeted measures for the social integration of students at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, peer-based support networks are to be forged that can make a significant contribution to reducing the drop-out rate. Digital media can then be used for good networking and to promote independent study organization. There is a particular focus on regional ties and taking cultural characteristics into account in order to strengthen the sense of community and promote students' self-efficacy.
