StudyFit: Study success courses for international students
The study success course "StudyFit" is aimed at international students from the 2nd semester onwards in Bachelor's and Master's degree programs who want to improve their academic skills and ensure their academic success.
All important dates at a glance:
StudyFit is a modular program where each module is designed to address specific challenges that international students often face and provides practical strategies and resources to overcome these challenges.
The following modules are offered in the Student Success Course:
Module 1: Consultation
Compulsory consultation at StudyFit is an essential step in helping you to identify and overcome the many challenges and problems that can arise during your studies. Counseling takes place in close cooperation with various counseling services, such as the Academic Advisory Service, the Central Student Advisory Service and the Psychological Counseling Service.
This broad and interdisciplinary consultation ensures that you receive the best possible support not only professionally, but also personally and in terms of organization. This helps you to successfully achieve your study goals and experience your time at university as positive and enriching.
Module 2: Scientific work and writing
The Scientific Work and Writing module offers courses on the central fundamentals of scientific work. These include literature research, various citation techniques, familiarization with the university library and its services, as well as tips and methods for writing term papers. The aim is to support students in structured research, correct citation, and writing scientific papers.
Modul 3: Coaching Studio
In the Coaching Studio module, you have the opportunity to participate in workshops in cooperation with the Psychological Counseling Service. You will learn important soft skills such as speaking in front of groups or communicating effectively, but you will also address topics such as procrastination, poor time management, and stress management. With this knowledge, you will lay the foundation for a more successful academic career.
Module 4: Framework conditions for living and studying in Germany
The module Framework conditions for living and studying in Germany provides you with an overview of the legal framework, such as visas, residence permits, and labor law, but also covers topics such as financing your studies and scholarships.
What are the benefits of the study success course and how do I obtain a certificate?
To obtain the certificate, you must attend at least two events from each module and attend the mandatory consultation at the International Office.
After successful participation, you will receive a certificate attesting to the skills and knowledge you have acquired. This certificate can be an advantage in future applications and professional activities.
In addition, by participating in the course, you will feel more confident in your studies, be able to apply the strategies and resources you have learned, and thus continue your studies at RUB (more) successfully!
