Checklist for online learning

The Office for Advisory Services of Heidelberg University have published a checklist with useful information for your daily life learning from home. If you haven’t already make use of these advises, they could help you improve your working and learning experience and feeling more comfortable without face-to-face lectures.

However, it is important as well to continue your social life, meet fellow students for example on our Discord server. Fun and anticipation for upcoming events might be important as well these days.

With this guideline, we could hopefully assist you with your studies.
Stay healthy and see you soon face-to-face!

New student at Heidelberg University?

The students’ representatives council MathPhysInfo is offering an induction event for all new Master’s students on Wednesday, April 14th 2021 starting at 4pm (CEST). As this event mainly addresses questions regarding the organization of studies and various service offers for an everyday life of a student in Heidelberg, it aims to especially introduce newly arriving students at Heidelberg University to their new learning and living environment. After an introductory presentation there will be plenty of time to ask individual questions, so that everything is set for the winter term. Please note that there might be an additional welcome event from the faculty or institute for your programme.

The Master’s induction event is open for all postgraduate students in the Mathematics, Applied Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Physics and Scientific Computing programmes.

Due to the ongoing pandemic this event will take place online on the discord server of the student council.

Please don’t hesitate asking questions already prior to the event via email to fachschaft@mathphys.info

For all those of you who aren’t able to attend this event online, we are planning to record the talk and upload it on Youtube afterwards.

Access to Discord-Server

The Discord Server is set up for students enrolled at our university.
However, to protect against abuse we would like to limit access accordingly.

So if you are a student, you are very welcome here and please feel invited to fill out the form!
Afterwards we will send you a link via Email.






    Hardship scholarship for students in financial need

    Have you heard about the hardship scholarship of the Stura?

    The student representation financially supports students that are confronted to a hard financial situation. They ask us to share the following information:

    Dear Students,

    the corona pandemic is a challenge for all of us. Many of you might loose their jobs or cannot be supported by their parents anymore in case they loose parts of their income due to corona. We do not want anybody to drop out of university due to financial reasons. That is why we want to remind you of the option to apply for a hardship scholarship. This is a special scholarship to prevent students in financial trouble from dropping out of university. Please send applications to haertefallkommission@stura.uni-heidelberg.de. Here you will find information on all the documents we need: https://www.stura.uni-heidelberg.de/angebote/info/hardship-scholarship/ (english). Currently applications can only be submitted via e-mail. This scholarship is an offer to all students in financial need including refugees and students from abroad.

    Stay safe!

    Digital learning collection for physics

    Due to the current unprecedented situation, it is very important to provide valuable online teaching methods. In the scope of an eLearning Challenge, we want to collect links of examples (e.g. YouTube videos, scripts, animations, etc.) for professors and physics students. Therefore, share your preferred learning material and websites with us. If you know some great platforms, please add them to this form.

    Please share this message that the database can grow steadily. The bigger this collection, the better our teaching next semester! If you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

    Thank you for your participation and stay healthy,

    Creating shared notes

    Since quite some time we as student council are running CodiMD as an internal service. You can create shared notes, presentations and many more things while collaborating in real time through an relatively easy to use UI.

    We now opened an installation of the tool to the public: codimd.mathphys.stura.uni-heidelberg.de

    If you have any questions regarding the tool feel free to write an email to root@mathphys.stura.uni-heidelberg.de.

    Happy Hacking,
    Your Student Council
