WiWi coaching - our "help for self-help"

Learning at university is different from learning at school. From now on, you will be sitting in the Audimax with several hundred students, listening attentively to what the lecturers are saying and taking notes. Attendance is not compulsory in the lectures, which is why self-study is very important. From now on, you will enjoy the freedom to organise your work and time yourself. However, this also requires a high degree of self-motivation, discipline and concentration, which can lead to excessive demands and stress. Because during the semester, no one - except YOU - will usually check your learning progress. To prevent these difficulties, the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics offers you the Wiwi Coaching programme. Here you have the opportunity to get support from experienced students.
