Gaining university experience

On 27th May 2024 the students of the IGN visited the University of Applied Sciences in Zwickau. There they were informed about the studies of: Languages and Intercultural Communication, Informatics & Robotics, Economy & Marketing as well as Automotive Engineering.

All the sessions were a good mix of theory and practical experience, for example the students could try out a driving simulator, little robots or virtual reality glasses.   

A speciality of the department of languages there is the sign language (Gebärdensprache) which the visitors could try out themselves.

Beside the „lessons“ inside university, there was also a scavenger hunt around the campus fields which they tried out as the first visitors. It was a cool idea and the „freshmen“ gained a lot of information about the Scheffel campus. To round up the student atmosphere the students had lunch in the students‘ mensa as well.

This was a great day and maybe this university close to their homes will be an option after the A-levels in three years.
