Events for new master students

Posted on by

For students starting their Master’s degree, the Student Council MathPhysInfo offers an induction event on Tuesday, October 18th, 4 pm in lecture hall 2 in INF 308. This event is especially made for students who moved to Heidelberg recently and supplements the official welcoming events held by members of the corresponding faculty. By attending you will gain some insight into organizing your studies and several services offered by the university to facilitate your life as a student. After an introductory presentation, there will be ample possibility to ask individual questions.

This event is geared towards all master students of mathematics, data and computer science, computer engineering, physics and scientific computing, as well as the Master of Eduction.

For all of you who cannot attend, you can find the presentation of one of the previous years here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grDaC59Ko1c

Furthermore, there will be a pub crawl that same evening (Tuesday, October 18th): People who would like to join should meet at the fountain on the Universitätsplatz in the Altstadt at 7 pm.

Checklist for online learning

Posted on by

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!

    International student get-together

    Posted on by

    On April 15th at 7:00pm we will have a get-together for international students on the discord server. ‘Native’ students from Germany are invited just as much as international students, but to be accommodating to non-native german speakers it will held in (broken) english.

    If you want to participate in this get-together, we would strongly suggest you to prepare a meal to go along with the event. This is not only to allay your hunger but also so that you have something to share with the other people at the get-together. Obviously this works especially well if you prepare something that is in some way special to where you come from, but this is of course not mandatory.

    If there is something else you want to share about where you come from (images, stories, etc.) this will surely be appreciated as well so go right ahead with that! The more you are prepared to bring into the get-together the more interesting it will be for all participants. And from experience we can tell you that it is much easier to make new contacts if you bring something about yourself into the conversation.

    We hope to see many of you on Thursday. Until then have good start into the next semester!
