Call for proposals: Ideas Competition for Students 2016 »Study successfully! Ideas for outstanding studies«

How can students achieve good learning results and how can they be motivated? How can the University accompany its students in the best way? How can teaching and learning also be organised? What can the University do to lead students to a successful university degree?

The University kindly invites its students to submit proposals for positive measures and new campaigns with the slogan »Study successfully! Ideas for outstanding studies«.
This year's deadline was May 20th, 2016.

Explain briefly your proposal; you can take part in this competition individually as well as in a team.

The following questions can help you to get some ideas:

How can students' services, counseling and support be organised during the studies? What information and contents are needed?
How can courses be designed even more interestingly?
How can the preparation and registration for exams be improved?
What skills do students need for their studies and theirs Jobs?

So if you have great ideas on teaching and learning at the University of Goettingen but so far you do not know how to bring them about, it's quite simple: join in, take part, you can make the difference! All students are kindly invited to participate. You can win cash prizes and other prizes worth a total of 3,000 Euros!

The Ideas Competition is being held under the aegis of the Vice President for Teaching and Learning, Professor Dr. Andrea D. Bührmann.
