Visitors didn’t have an easy time getting to Mittweida for the Open Campus Day (Studieninformationstag) today. Around 750 had arrived by 3 pm. And the effort was well worth it, as from 8 am onwards, in ‘Studio B’ and behind the many open doors across the campus, they found ideal opportunities to explore their own career prospects. Many university staff and students were on hand to answer questions from the young people – and quite a few parents – and shared their enthusiasm for what they do in teaching, research and service. How does studying actually work? How do I find the degree programme that suits my interests? Which mode of study is right for me? What has a future? And: what advantages – including financial ones – does studying in Mittweida offer?

At 3 pm, the livestream continued from the TV studio. This gave prospective students in Mittweida the chance to take a look behind the scenes of a television production. For everyone – including those who were unable to come to Mittweida – there were informative panel discussions and project presentations from all faculties, such as insights into forensic work at crime scenes and game development in media informatics.

Mittweida University of Applied Sciences is therefore the only university in Saxony to offer a live digital information session on YouTube alongside the state-wide Open Campus Day (Studieninformationstag) – including the opportunity to ask questions live. Click here for the livestream.

Alongside experts from the Student Advisory Service, the Studentenwerk and the International Office, representatives from all faculties at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences were on hand in ‘Studio B’ to discuss the course content, career prospects and future opportunities offered by the 50 degree programmes. From A for ‘semester abroad’ to C for ‘opportunities’ and S for ‘scholarships’ to Z for ‘admissions’, all questions relating to studying were answered: on modes of study and types of higher education institution, the application process and course structure, as well as funding and support. ‘Studio B’ served as the starting point for campus tours, lectures, project presentations, and open days in the laboratories and studios of the five faculties.
