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.
StudyFit is a modular program in which you choose courses yourself from 6 subject areas. In total, you will attend courses with a total of 4 SWS, divided into courses during the lecture period and block courses during the lecture-free period.
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:
In the second module, Scientific Work and Writing, you will learn the basics of scientific work. This includes literature research and source evaluation, structuring and writing academic texts as well as citation techniques and avoiding plagiarism.
Counseling is an elementary component of participation in the Study Success Course. At least one consultation at the International Office is mandatory. Together we look at the course of study and show you which additional counseling services would be useful.
In the fourth module, Intercultural/Social, we promote your intercultural awareness. This module supports you in social integration on campus, building and maintaining networks and participating in social and cultural activities.
