Is the HSZG digitally ready?

Yes, say our students! StudyCheck gives the HSZG an award for student satisfaction with their digital studies in Corona times.

StudyCheck, Germany’s largest and most widely read review portal for colleges and universities, surveyed over 50,000 students about their experiences with “digital learning” during the COVID-19 crisis:

  • Can you complete your degree program online?
  • How good is the accessibility of your professors and instructors online?
  • Is the course material also available to you online?

Through these questions, StudyCheck was able to gain insight into students’ satisfaction with the digital transformation of their university and used this data to create the “Digital Readiness Ranking.”

What experiences have our students had?

A look at the publicly accessible testimonials from our students on StudyCheck.de shows that they are satisfied with the HSZG's response to the corona crisis and are happy to communicate this to the outside world.

"In times like the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s an adjustment for everyone. The HSZG and the faculty (with a few exceptions) have handled the transition exceptionally well and provided students with excellent online instruction—whether in the form of live sessions or by making videos available. Because of its size, the HSZG and its faculty are much closer to the students than large universities." Mechanical Engineering Student (Diplom)

"The university is responding to the COVID-19 crisis very thoughtfully. They are carefully weighing what is necessary and what is not. I feel very safe." Student in Housing and Real Estate Management (Diplom)

"The university responded to the COVID-19 crisis by offering online lectures, and it's working great." Student in Molecular Biotechnology (Bachelor)

"All seminars and lectures are offered online. All lecturers are in close contact with the students. So far, solutions have always been found to continue teaching in the best possible way. So far, the lack of face-to-face teaching has not led to any disadvantages for me." Health care management student (Master's degree)

Thanks to these and many other positive student reviews, HSZG received a score of 4.94 and was thus awarded the new Digital Readiness distinction by StudyCheck. Across Germany, 48 other universities made it into the ranking, with the HSZG being the only institution in Saxony to be included.
