When?
16:00 – 17:30
A lot of questions arise when you start university. To make sure you are well prepared before starting your actual degree programme, the Student Advisory Services of Leibniz University Hannover offers all first-year students a Start Smart series of events. Start Smart is provided in addition to the preliminary courses and introductory events run by the individual degree programmes. It gives you a good overview of everything you need to know, and offers lots of advice on starting out at university.
Start Smart accompanies you from before the start of the semester into the first semester with a series of changing online events.
You can participate in all or only individual events.
The events are aimed at both Bachelor's and Master's students who are new to Leibniz University Hannover.
The events for all students on Mondays and Wednesdays will be happening in German language only.
No registration needed.
In this first event, we give advice on how to finance your studies and find accommodation in Hannover.
Studying with a disability and/or a chronic illness or a specific developmental disorder, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD or autism, is often associated with some insecurities. We will give you information e.g. about the accessibility of the university, the compensation for students with disadvantages, the general organization of studies ...
And in addition to the given information, there is enough time to answer all your questions, so that you can start your studies the right way!
It is easier to delve into the – as yet – unknown world of higher education when you know more about the “principle of studying”.
Besides information on timetables, credit points, the importance and types of examinations, the role of professors, self-responsibility, organisation ... there is also sufficient time to answer any questions you may have, enabling you to get off to a good start!
Everything online! Internet access, university network, course planning and registration, registration for examinations, etc. – nothing goes without an LUH-ID and identity management.
We introduce you to the key services and offers from the online world of Leibniz University Hannover, and answer any questions you may have.
Your first semester may bring some obstacles: managing your learning time, reading and understanding scientific texts, taking notes in lectures, writing your own scientific texts and questions about your future: What to do after your studies and how to get practical expirience?
You can get tips and answers to these questions in the Learning Workshop, from the Writung Team or the Career Service of the ZQS Key Competences.
