The digital age is advancing and Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is following suit. The days when universities courted prospective students by post or advertisement are a thing of the past. Today, the students of tomorrow are happy to take matters into their own hands. Study choice portals such as StudyCHECK.de and MeinProf.de offer a wealth of information and opportunities to find the right university for you.

With over 3 million page views per month,StudyCHECK is Germany's best-known university evaluation portal where universities can present themselves to the public. Users can see at a glance which degree programs are offered and how they have been rated by former and current students. Prospective students can thus get an optimal picture of the university and its offers and can be directed straight to the official university website. 

The Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences recently created a so-called "premium university profile" on this study choice portal in order to present itself even better. The statistics speak for themselves: with over 65,000 clicks, over 160 positive reviews and a recommendation rate of 94%, the University of Applied Sciences Zittau/Görlitz is becoming a well-known name in the field of university rankings in Germany. And the trend is rising. What works on a large scale can also be effective on a small scale. The Faculty of Business Administration and Industrial Engineering has taken the development of the HSZG university profile as a model and created its own "premium study profiles" for the Business Administration, Industrial Engineering and Housing and Real Estate Management courses to increase external perception. All faculties of the HSZG are free to follow this path.

MeinProf.de is also one of the better-known university evaluation portals in Germany. Here, students can rate all professors and staff on the basis of their lectures and seminars. Thanks to a large number of positive evaluations and recommendations, the HSZG even achieved 5th place in the Germany-wide university ranking. The Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences has therefore not only arrived in the current age of technology, but also enables prospective students to find out more about the content of their studies. The students themselves, who testify to the high quality of teaching with their positive evaluations, are particularly helpful in this respect.

Here's a tip for HSZG students and all soon-to-be graduates!
