Welcome to Department 2: Computer Science and Engineering
Starting your studies is a challenge for many people: How do I organize my new life? Will I meet the requirements? And how do I finance myself? New students in Faculty 2, Computer Science and Engineering will find out answers to these and many other questions as part of this sub-project.
Students can benefit from the offers as early as the first semester introduction. They reflect on the challenges of studying and find out who they can turn to if they need support during their studies. Since the new freedom and responsibility at the same time overwhelms many people, there are workshops on time management during studies - in different versions: short and online, longer and in person, as well as peer-to-peer (with support from mentors).
Off to the alumni couch
A further challenge is often presented by the basic subjects, which are considered difficult by many. This is where the “ Alumni Couch ” helps boost motivation: In the online event, graduates report on their diverse career paths and thus provide an inspiring insight into the various possibilities that open up with a degree.
Since Frankfurt is an expensive place to study, financing is likely to be a concern for many students. In an event on the topic, they will be informed about all options for financing their studies and encouraged to submit appropriate applications or apply for a scholarship.
