Doors Wide Open: University Delights Over 750 Guests
A Diverse Program and Strong Response at the University Open House
Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences looks back on a successful Open House. Last weekend, more than 750 prospective students, along with their parents, visited the two campuses in Zittau and Görlitz to learn about the wide range of degree programs and campus life.
At both locations, visitors had the opportunity to take part in the extensive program of activities. At the Zittau campus, activities included guided tours of laboratories, lectures, and workshops. The Görlitz campus also presented a wide range of events that offered a comprehensive look at the university’s academic programs and facilities. Rector Alexander Kratzsch expressed his delight at the high turnout:
"We are thrilled by the large number of prospective students and their families who attended our Open House. This shows that our university is seen as an attractive place to study and that our wide range of programs is generating a great deal of interest."
”More than 130 dedicated staff members from the faculties, institutes, the administration, and the support units helped make the day a memorable experience for the more than 750 visitors. Prospective students from Berlin, Brandenburg, Thuringia, Bavaria, Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, as well as from Poland and the Czech Republic attended the event, underscoring the strong appeal of Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences even beyond the borders of the federal state and the country.
In addition to learning about the degree programmes, prospective students were able to have one-on-one conversations with faculty members, current students, and university staff, thereby gaining valuable first-hand information. The Student Advisory Service also offered individual counseling sessions to assist with choosing a degree programme and to answer questions about university life.
The 'Studentenwerk' (student union) in Dresden was on site and provided detailed advice on financing options and housing in Zittau and Görlitz to help prospective students get off to a smooth start in their studies.
Another highlight of the day was the culinary offerings, organized in collaboration with regional partners and the Student Council. Visitors had the opportunity to enjoy regional specialties and exchange ideas about studying and life in Zittau and Görlitz during a relaxed get-together.
The campus tours gave prospective students a comprehensive look at the university’s facilities and amenities. In addition, city tours were offered, giving guests the chance to discover the cultural and historical highlights of both cities. In Görlitz, for example, an alternative city tour was led by members of RABRYKA (Center for Youth and Sociocultural Activities). This special tour allowed participants to experience the city from a different perspective.
Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is pleased with the positive feedback from visitors and views the successful Open House as confirmation of its ongoing efforts to enhance the appeal and quality of its academic programs.
Prospective students who missed the Open House still have several opportunities to get to know Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences in person.
The successful university open house highlights the dedication and collaboration of everyone involved, who helped provide prospective students and their families with an informative and inspiring day. Zittau/Görlitz University would like to thank everyone who helped make this event a success and looks forward to the next event, when it will once again open its doors to prospective students.
