2020 is drawing to a close. It has been a challenging year. Therefore, as we start the Christmas days and the New Year, a heartfelt thank you to all students, staff and faculty for their tireless efforts during this special year. A Merry Christmas to you all and a good and, above all, healthy start to 2021.
If a bachelor's degree has already been achieved, a master's program is the perfect choice to further expand the expertise. Information events on the master's degree programs will therefore be held again at the beginning of 2021. The study program coordinators will provide information on content, focus areas and the admission procedure.
From December 24, 2020 to January 6, 2021 inclusive, WiSo and FAU will take a Christmas break to save energy. The service facilities will be closed during this time. WiSo wishes its students, employees and guests happy holidays!
With the shutdown decided for Wednesday, December 16, 2020, no exams may take place at WiSo Nürnberg. This requirement applies to all examinations, oral as well as written, which are to be conducted in presence. Unfortunately, there is no information available yet when examinations in presence will be resumed. Thank you for your understanding!
Students of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Society can register for the exams in the winter semester 2020/2021 from Monday, November 30, 2020, 0.01 a.m. to Sunday, December 13, 2020, 11.59 p.m. The registration for the Examinations are conducted via "my campus". The registration function is only activated during the registration period.
The Bavarian Cabinet has decided yesterday that universities have to switch to digital teaching (except for work in laboratories, internships, applied and artistic education phases and examinations). For this reason, the Faculty of Business, Economics and Society are cancelling all in class teaching.
The corona pandemic has turned university teaching and learning upside down and made face-to-face teaching difficult. The ALEX schnell-digital!-Award is therefore intended to honor particularly successful online teaching offerings. Laura Kirste won thereby in the category Best-of-schnell-digital! The WiSo congratulates!
For many students is the second semester they have spent studying during the pandemic, with virtually teaching being offered remotely. They often suffer from a lack of motivation when studying from home and there is a lack of structure in their day to day lives. In a study, researchers at WiSo have discovered that mentoring programmes can reduce these problems.
The winter term starts Monday, November 2, 2020, with a big digital welcome for all students. At the following virtual WiSo-info-fair, many of the service facilities, institutions, initiatives, and business partners will present themselves. Virtual campus tours, words of greetings, and a digital party organized by student initiatives brings the day to an good end.
