What I like about the degree programme is the interactivity in the lectures, especially from the 3rd semester onwards. I also like the way the lecturers teach the content and try to show you practical things so that you can take something away with you after your studies.

I especially appreciate the strong focus on practical learning and innovation in my degree programme, as well as the supportive academic environment that encourages research and international collaboration. Being awarded the Deutschlandstipendium has further motivated me and reflects the university's strong culture of support and encouragement for students.

I like the family environment at the university. Professors and lecturers know you by name and even the canteen staff know what my favourite side dish is on schnitzel day. My degree programme (Health and Social Work, 5th semester) offers me a huge range of future employment opportunities. I can gain a foothold in almost any social organisation later on. But the healthcare sector also has a number of opportunities in store for me. I think hardly any other degree programme is so universal.
