Fit for your studies
During this year's Come in weeks, students were once again able to prepare for the start of their studies.
From September 13 to 28, 2021, the HSZG once again hosted the preparation and come-in weeks. In contrast to the previous year, new students were once again able to take part in significantly more courses in person while complying with hygiene regulations. The preliminary courses in Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics and Chemistry were available to refresh knowledge, supplemented by various leisure activities to get to know the new study locations and fellow students.
Come in - preliminary courses in numbers
As in previous years, this year's preliminary courses were once again very well attended. A total of 133 students registered for the various preliminary courses. The physics preliminary course was the most popular with 86 participants, followed by the mathematics preliminary course in Zittau with 83 participants. 42 students each registered for the other Zittau preliminary courses in electrical engineering and chemistry. At the Görlitz location, the preliminary courses in mathematics and computer science - websites and web applications were open to a total of 26 and 18 eager students respectively.
"Come in" - a good start to your studies with a network
In addition to the professional refresher course, there were also various leisure activities this year to get to know each other and network. These had to be greatly reduced last year due to the pandemic and were perhaps also particularly popular during the Come in weeks 2021. Whether it was a relaxed evening at Lake Olbersdorf, an informative guided tour of the historic old town of Zittau or the European city of Görlitz-Zgorcelec or an adventurous excursion to the Zittau Mountains - the leisure activities offered plenty of scope for interesting discussions and socializing. Of course, the two student clubs "DeZi-Bar" Zittau and "Maus" Görlitz were not to be missed, inviting the new students to two cozy barbecue evenings. The leisure activities were accompanied by students from higher semesters, who were able to make contacts with the first-year students before the regular start of lectures and report on their previous experiences of studying.
"The Come in weeks are a new experience every year with many new faces who are excited to start their studies. I was particularly pleased to be able to offer a wide range of pre-course and leisure activities on site again this year." Karen Kobelt, Come-In Weeks organizer
”"Come In" Weeks – Conclusion
Once again this year, we can look back on the “Come In” Weeks with a positive assessment. They have become an indispensable source of support for students as they begin their studies and make a valuable contribution to many young people who have chosen to pursue an academic education at HSZG.
Finally, we would like to thank the instructors of the preparatory courses in mathematics—Professor Mashuryan and Professor Schnell, as well as Mr. Cella, Maria Hausmann, and Toni Grüning—Ms. Herzig (instructor for the electrical engineering preparatory course), Dr. Prenzel (instructor for the computer science preparatory course), Mr. Spitzner (instructor for the physics preparatory course), and Professor Weber (instructor for the chemistry preparatory course). I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the student volunteers for their support: Lydia Laarz from FSR-M, Ria Hübner and Justus Schmiedchen from FSR-N, and Jennifer Prohl from FSR-W.
I wish all first-year students a successful start to the 2021–22 winter semester at HSZG!
