I particularly like the fact that the lecturers are open to questions and feedback. Most of them are happy to help with problems on request. I also like working together with my fellow students. The Karzer also offers a good opportunity to spend time together in your free time.

What I particularly like about Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences is how lively and diverse the interaction is. In university health management, we organise offers such as exercise sessions, nutrition workshops, bike checks and back health days. Being involved in student committees such as the student council, student council or faculty council also gives you the opportunity to actively shape your studies, make valuable contacts and develop important skills. This makes studying here an active, participative and personally enriching experience.

As a student, I particularly appreciated the practical approach to teaching and the personal dialogue at eye level with the professors - you were always supported and taken seriously. At the same time, the green campus with its pond, bees and squirrels offers a really pleasant learning atmosphere. 

Today - as a research assistant in the „QUANT-GPICz“ project and hike - I particularly enjoy the open, friendly team spirit and the short distances across the campus, which make everyday working life uncomplicated. I deal with new topics every day and learn a lot of new things.

    How do families whose adult children have a disability live and what challenges, but also resources, characterise their everyday lives? two qualitative studies at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences provide insights into the realities of life that often remain hidden. They show how parents and relatives organise their lives, what support they experience - and what gaps in research still exist. Introduction, background and [...]
