Preventive care for students of biology, geography, geoecology, geosciences, pharmacy

For all those who will participate in field trips during the course of their studies, the risk assessment results in mandatory occupational health care based on the Occupational Health Care Ordinance (ArbMedVv).

The attendance at any of the appointments is mandatory for you (if you study biology, geography, geoecology, geosciences, pharmacy) and a prerequisite for participation in future courses in the field.

The meetings are online via zoom.

Student representations

The student representation is an association of honorary and socially committed students. The tasks of the student council include representing the interests of the students, in particular through participation in the committees (faculty council, study commissions, professional committees, examination boards). In addition, the student council advises on study matters, distributes lecture notes, organizes first semester introductions and other general information events. Everyone is welcome to participate and represent student interests.

Selection statutes for study programs with restricted admission

Bachelor of Science / Master of Science Programs

Bachelor of Education / Master of Education Programs

Last update: 22.03.2024

The original documents with legal validity can be found in the official announcements of the University.

The General Part of the Examination Regulations contains overarching, general regulations and may be valid for several degree programs. The special part regulates, among other things, the contents of the study program, the concrete structure of the study program and the required examination achievements. If only individual words or passages of an existing statute/regulation have been changed, this is referred to as an "amendment statute" (Änderungssatzung). This is not to be read separately, but always in conjunction with the original statutes.
