Annemarie, Early Childhood Education

What I like about my studies is ...
... the closeness and atmosphere between students and lecturers.
Due to the large number of diverse modules, we are offered a wide range of different fields of activity (legal, psychological, pedagogical, etc.).
Another thing worth mentioning is the beautiful campus at all times of the year and the daily visit to the cafeteria – not only my highlight, but also the highlight of many of my fellow students.

Why is the degree programme the right choice?
It offers the opportunity to learn a lot about theoretical topics and to test and consolidate them in the practical phases that take place parallel to the degree programme.
I often discover myself anew in the seminars and learn to understand myself better.
Everything is also very varied and many doors are open to us later with regard to our further career.

Patricia, Social Work

What I like about my degree programme ...
... especially the variety of topics we are dealing with. I can not only learn the theoretical basics of social work, at the same time I can also acquire practical skills that will help me to support people directly in the future.

A highlight for me was ...
... definitely the workshop "What to do with the youth? The area of conflict between right and wrong", where I not only got to know great people, moreover, I also gained a completely different perspective.
