Important tips for trial students

Anyone who is interested in taking a trial course at other universities should know that many universities offer similar offers. The University of Tübingen recommends attending the courses at the beginning of the semester, although this does not necessarily have to be done in the first week of lectures. Participation in lectures or seminars is also possible later in the semester; However, it should be noted that the content often builds on one another, which can make it difficult to get started. You should register in advance, especially for smaller events.

Anyone interested can find an overview of all events here alma portal. It is important to emphasize that the trial course is primarily intended to provide an initial insight into the subject of study, but is not always representative of the actual course of study. It is therefore advisable to critically question the impressions from the trial course and supplement them with further experience.

Less is more when taking a trial course

At the University of Hanover, the trial course is not organized for groups, although participation in pairs is permitted. In the lectures, the participants are not addressed directly, which is very different from the situation at school. When taking part in the trial course, it is also normal to only be able to follow the content to a limited extent, as regular students have already completed several courses.

If you would like to delve deeper into everyday student life, you could register for the JuniorSTUDIUM to take part in a whole semester and acquire creditable achievements. If you have any questions about your study orientation, you can contact the student advisory team via email studienberatung@uni-hannover.de available.
