Come In Weeks at the HSZG
Pre-courses and leisure activities ensured a successful start to the course at the end of September.
Dear freshmen, we’re glad you’ve arrived in good condition! From September 16 to 27, the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences held its "Come In" Weeks .
Whether it was preparatory courses to brush up on science and math or recreational activities to help you settle into this new phase of life and get to know one another—the “Come in Weeks” allowed first-semester students at both university campuses to prepare perfectly for the start of their studies at HSZG!
True to the motto “by students, for students,” a student organizing team offered a wide range of activities to give the newcomers a warm welcome. So many of you took advantage of this opportunity! We’d like to say thank you and hope you continue to have a great time at your university!
The "Come In" weeks are a great opportunity to get to know the university and the cities—as well as meet new people. If you have the chance, you should definitely take advantage of these two weeks!
”Campus Breakfast with the StuRa
For the second time, a healthy and sustainable breakfast break took place as part of the Come In Weeks. More than 50 first-year students accepted our invitation on September 18 and enjoyed regional vegetables and bread, fresh fruit, and delicious apple cake. In addition to the freshmen, representatives from the University Executive Board and the Student Council were also present to welcome our new students and encourage interaction. A great start to an exciting academic journey at HSZG!
Together with the University Health Management Office, we would like to make the campus breakfast—which was once again very good this year—a tradition during the “Come In” weeks and expand the event to both campuses. For us as the student government, it is particularly important that students get to know the StuRa as an accessible point of contact right from the moment they arrive at HSZG.

Successful "KIA Shuttle Start" – Welcome Event for Our New KIA Students
On September 17, as part of the Come In Weeks, we held our annual welcome event for new KIA students, the “KIA Shuttle Start.” It was with great enthusiasm that we welcomed our dual-track students, who once again make up about half of the student body in the Faculties of Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science this year.
Following opening remarks by Rector Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexander Kratzsch, the KIA officers introduced themselves and provided an overview of the rest of the program. The close collaboration with our partner companies enables students to gain practical experience and valuable insights into the professional world even while they are still in school. This integration of theory and practice enriches not only their education but also their everyday university life.
Special thanks go to Pauline Rechenberg, who, as the KIA student representative, is always ready to provide active support despite her busy schedule.
This year, special attention was given to the team-building games, which were professionally organized by Sebastian Tzschach and his team from Teamwörks. His experiential learning games lightened the mood and helped the first-year students get to know one another and make their first connections. The day offered a perfect opportunity to break the ice and lay the foundation for a strong network among the students.
Another highlight was the outstanding event catering by Philipp Steffen, which provided the perfect culinary finale to the event with custom-made burgers and freshly grilled potato wedges.
We look forward to a successful collaboration with the new KIAs and thank everyone involved, as well as our partners, for the successful start to the new academic year.
