Campus Compass - The guide through studies
No overview of the examination and study regulations and the variety of advice centres at the university? Campus Compass offers orientation in everyday study life – and in a practical short format to listen to. The podcast provides helpful tips about studying – directly from the Student and Academic Services Department. The podcast was created by the Ombudsperson Silja-Katharina Haufe. Host Paulina Schubert presents topics that make everyday student life easier but are still relatively unknown. In the summer semester 2025 we will publish a new episode every week. It starts on 22 April. All episodes are available here on the website and on the University's YouTube channel. Simply listen in and find out what support is available – without a long search!
