Importance of exchange and networking
The social aspects of studying are of central importance for many students. Students often feel isolated and have little contact with their fellow students. Various initiatives such as sports or theater groups, but also volunteer work, promote exchange. It is recommended to use university committees or group opportunities to make contacts. Information about this can be found on the websites of the respective universities uni-potsdam.de reported.
In addition, around 180 career information centers run by employment agencies offer a valuable resource for students who want to find out about different educational paths. Digital offers, brochures and books on careers, training and study programs are available there. Users can find out about courses of study directly on site and create professional application documents. The BiZ information and events are on employment agency.de to find.
