Close to your studies!
At the HSZG 'Studienkolleg' (preparatory college) graduation ceremony on July 9, 31 students were delighted to receive their diplomas, which qualify them to study at a German university.
Relief, pride, and infectious good cheer filled the Bürgersaal at Zittau City Hall last Friday. On that day, the young graduates of the 'Studienkolleg' (preparatory college) at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences received their diplomas. Visibly happy and full of joy, the 31 students accepted their degree certificates.
At the 'Studienkolleg' (preparatory college) of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, young people from all over the world complete their preparatory year so that they can subsequently begin their studies at a university in Saxony or another federal state.
They can choose from three academic tracks. Prospective students can opt for the engineering or economics track , or they can attend the 'Studienkolleg' (preparatory college) with the goal of earning the Certificate of the German Language Examination for University Admission (DSH).
The students in this year’s class come from a total of twelve different countries. To study at the Zittau 'Studienkolleg' (preparatory college), they have traveled between six and 8,000 km. They come from Germany, Poland, and Hungary; Indonesia and Nepal; India and Vietnam; Morocco and Egypt; Lebanon and Jordan; and even the United States.
I am very pleased that a total of 14 graduates of the 'Studienkolleg' (preparatory college) have decided to begin their studies this fall at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, including the two good students, who are from Nepal and Morocco. said Rector Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexander Kratzsch.
”In his speech, the Rector emphasized that the past year had been particularly challenging and exhausting. Due to the pandemic, the students were able to attend classes only online. This required not only a greater willingness to learn on their part, but also extraordinary dedication from the faculty at the 'Studienkolleg' (preparatory college).
Everyone was all the happier now to have made it through. Because of the pandemic, the students were unable to perform their own play as part of the graduation ceremony, as is customary. Nevertheless, the ceremony took place in a dignified and festive setting, accompanied by piano music. Now the young people will first enjoy the summer before beginning their university studies in the fall. We wish them all good success and all the best!
