Tips for successful self-organisation
A large part of the degree programmes nowadays are very freely designed. However, this circumstance often causes significant problems for many students.
A lack of specifications and flexible event schedules demand a high degree of personal initiative from them. Some students tend to get carried away. They try to tackle as many tasks as possible at the same time. Others, however, postpone their tasks to the future in the hope of being able to complete them better at a later date.

However, studying with a child does not always have to become a burden. With the help of various support options and counselling services, you can enjoy life as a parent and successfully complete your studies.

Study without a university entrance qualification
After graduating from school, many opt for vocational training for the time being. A course of study can be a sensible measure for further education or reorientation at a later point in time.
This does not always require a university entrance qualification, because, under certain conditions, you are also entitled to a higher education entrance qualification without a university entrance qualification. Today, every German university offers a course of study without a university entrance qualification. You can either study full-time or part-time at an online university.

Others, however, want to devote themselves more intensively to their interests and add variety to their everyday lives by learning new information. Study for older people is taken up for various reasons and offers numerous opportunities.
