Small adjustments to the design of one's own learning environment can have a major impact on learning success. Using numerous examples, this presentation shows how students can learn more effectively and sustainably by making targeted changes to their everyday learning routine. Participants will receive specific ideas for optimising learning situations and improving learning outcomes.

Studying, time constraints and deadlines are part of everyday student life and require good self-management skills. This lecture presents three practical approaches: the Eisenhower Matrix, the Pomodoro Technique and the ALPEN Method. Participants will learn how to set priorities, plan tasks and increase their concentration. A compact overview for anyone who wants to use their time more consciously during their studies.

The study programme Responsibility adds the key topics of ethics, responsibility and sustainability to one's own subject studies and provides students with a wide range of competences with which they can reflect on and advance discourses and developments. The constant interdisciplinary exchange with students from other subject areas plays a central role in this.

The Department of Engineering and Communication offers an extensive programme as part of the ‘Open Project Day’. Students present the projects they have worked on over the course of the semester.
The Department of Computer Science also offers an individual insight into the IT labs during this time.
The Department of Managemen Sciences offers a tour of the department and a meet and greet with students in the student council. There is also an information stand: ‘Research in Business Psychology’.

Lectures, taster lectures, workshops, presentations and guided tours will give you an insight into the bachelor's degree programmes.
