The HSZG will provide information about its range of courses for the first time in a live stream on July 15 from 6:30 pm.
The countdown to the first Virtual University Info Evening at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences next Wednesday, 15.07.2020, is slowly but surely approaching the zero barrier. The live stream start button is already flashing red in the minds of everyone who is currently working intensively on the preparations.
Everyone involved is working flat out to use the first virtual event to convince prospective students, first-year students and their families why - especially in times of corona - Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is the right choice.
The pandemic presents us all with major challenges. But ultimately, it and today's digital possibilities also offer us the opportunity to come together virtually over long distances. Distances that are often not even overcome by prospective students due to the location-bound nature of face-to-face university information days. Now we can convince people of our study programs in our unique region virtually from a distance. Rector Alexander Kratzsch
Moving closer together enables live broadcasting via the HSZG YouTube channel. From 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., the HSZG broadcasts live to all devices ready to receive - whether on a PC or smartphone, on the sofa at home, at the kitchen table, in the garden, on the train or even in bed - throughout Germany and beyond.

University members take a seat on the green HSZG sofas in the live studio, answer questions from the presenters and live chat participants and get up close to the audience with their expert knowledge. In this day and age, the only distance that needs to be maintained is with our moderation duo. In line with the motto "By students for students", two students from the Culture and Management course at the Faculty of Management and Cultural Sciences will be leading the virtual university information evening.
Carolin Renner and Cornelius Baier not only have their degree course in common, but also their home address. The presenter duo live together in a shared flat. This means that the distances for moderation meetings are nice and short.
The request for the moderation came quite spontaneously and unexpectedly, but it was immediately clear to us that we would do it together. We want to present our university in all its diversity, but also show why studying in Zittau and Görlitz is worthwhile. In our studio, we will welcome lecturers and students who will introduce us to life at the university. Two years ago, after a conversation with a professor, it was immediately clear to me that I wanted to study in Görlitz. Cornelius Baier
Why do the two of them think the HSZG is the right choice for studying, especially in these critical times surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic?
The number of students on degree courses at the HSCG rarely exceeds the size of a seminar group. In addition, there is the direct and close contact with professors and lecturers, which continues to exist even during the COVID-19 pandemic - whether on site or virtually. Carolin Renner
In the YouTube livestream, the university provides information about its range of courses and campus life at the HSZG. "We report on how the university is preparing for the special start to the semester this year and what our first-year students can expect from us," explains Cornelius. "Anyone who wants to can send questions directly to the studio via a live chat." HSZG experts will be available to answer questions during the broadcast or provide advice in person in virtual rooms.
