Get a taste of university life

"Campus on Tour" is making its second stop in Lübeck at the Hanse School of Business & Administration.

Degrees in business and engineering are highly sought after in the job market. But what exactly do you learn in these programs? On June 16, about 80 students from the Hanse School of Business and Administration will receive valuable information and tips firsthand. This unique orientation event will begin with a sample lecture given by a university professor. Afterward, students from various universities in eastern Germany will be available for discussions and will answer questions about starting college and their respective universities. The event is part of the “Campus on Tour” initiative, organized by the cross-state university marketing campaign “Mein Campus von Studieren in Fernost.”

Designing and modernizing buildings to be energy-efficient is becoming increasingly important these days. In his introductory lecture, Professor Dr. Tino Schütte from Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (HSZG) explains how building energy balances are calculated and what the industrial engineering program

covers. His goal is to inspire the approximately 80 students from the technical high school and vocational high school with an interest in technical and economic interrelationships, while also giving them insight into the

in the eastern German states. “Universities in eastern Germany offer good study conditions. For example, students at HSZG benefit from first-class educational programs, intensive support, and modern facilities,” said Professor Schütte. “Thanks to our good reputation and close ties to the business community, our graduates typically find employment quickly after completing their studies.”

Following the presentation, the students will have the opportunity to talk with Professor Schütte as well as students from two other East German universities. In small groups or one-on-one conversations, they can learn about choosing a major, starting college, and student life. Joining them are campus specialists Johannes Herbrich (Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences), Maike Schneider (Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald), and René Komnick (Harz University of Applied Sciences).

 

 

Through the “Campus on Tour” initiative, the cross-state university marketing campaign “Mein Campus von Studieren in Fernost” brings the attractive academic programs offered by East German universities directly to West German schools. From mid-May through early July 2015, faculty members and academic advisors from East German universities will visit twelve schools in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Hesse, and Bavaria. To ensure that students can discuss studying and life in eastern Germany on an equal footing, so-called “campus specialists”—student ambassadors from eastern German universities—are always on site as well.

About the campaign:

The cross-state higher education marketing campaign of the eastern German states—formerly the “Hochschulinitiative Neue Bundesländer” (Higher Education Initiative of the New Federal States)—has been using the “Studying in the Far East” campaign since 2008 to specifically draw the attention of prospective students in western Germany to study programs in the eastern German states. Since 2013, the campaign has continued under the title “My Campus: Studying in the Far East.” It was launched by the ministries of science of the states of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. The Saxony-Anhalt ministry is responsible for coordination. The campaign is funded by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research.
