Support services to accompany your studies

Learning skills

In this seminar, we will look at methods of time management and self-organization, as well as the psychological mechanisms behind blockages and obstructive procrastination. You will learn how emotion and cognition interact, what motivation consists of and how habits are used to achieve our goals. With this understanding, you will be able to better observe your own actions, make the best use of resources and develop your own approaches based on the strategies presented. We will discuss how to achieve a good balance between studies or work and life - even when working from home.

In addition to theoretical input, we work individually, in small groups and together.

Leader: Yolanda Mateos, university lecturer, study and career counselor, systemic coach and career counselor, exam and performance anxiety coach (PAC® certificate)
Registration: Studierendenwerk Ulm via Hochschulsport der Uni Ulm
The course takes place in cooperation with the university sports department.

 

We ask ourselves many questions about learning: How does my brain learn? What helps and what hinders learning processes? Where do learning blocks come from? What are my learning goals? How do I get an overview? Where do I need detailed knowledge? How do I create a learning plan? Which repetition rhythms are most effective? What role does my previous experience play? How can I prepare for my exams? How do I develop my learning skills for the future? We will take a close look at learning techniques and you will get to know other tried and tested methods. In addition to theoretical input, we work individually, in small groups and together.

Personal development

In this seminar, we want to create a safe space to talk about stress, pressure to perform and anxiety. You will learn how exam anxiety arises, what it is good for and how it can be overcome using self-regulation and effective techniques. You will learn to better understand your reactions and emotions and to influence them with new thought and action patterns. By using your inner resources, you will develop your own strategies for dealing confidently with exam situations and appearances. And last but not least, effective exam preparation will help you get through upcoming exams with less stress. We also explore the best way to prepare for presentations.
In addition to theoretical input, we work individually, in small groups and together. Confidential one-to-one discussions are also possible.

When the pressure of time and exams leaves your nerves on edge, it is an advantage to be able to quickly and easily find a good mental balance or, even better, to stay in it. In the seminar, you will learn about the relaxation method of autogenic training. Immediate and lasting relaxation effects are anchored internally through tangible body awareness and the experiences are reflected on in the group. Concentrative movement therapy (CBT ®) is used to round off the autogenic training. Regular use helps to achieve greater serenity in exam situations and in everyday life, among other things.
performance increases.
Please come in comfortable clothing and bring a blanket, a small cushion and writing materials.

Leader: Gerlinde Kögel, alternative practitioner for psychotherapy, yoga teacher and trainer AT
Registration: Studierendenwerk Ulm via University sports Ulm University
The course takes place in cooperation with Hoschulsport.

This seminar is about the concept of non-violent communication according to M. Rosenberg. 
As an inner guideline, it can help in difficult conversations to recognize obstructive language and reaction patterns and to replace them with new ones, to convey one's own concerns, that they are gladly supported by others and to remain in an appreciative attitude even with different points of view. In this context, self-reflection, perception and appreciation of oneself also play an important role. In addition to teaching the theoretical basics, there will also be an opportunity to practice so that what has been learned can be put into practice in everyday life. This course is offered as part of the Additive Key Qualifications (ASQ) at Ulm University. Students from the TH Ulm and HS Neu-Ulm can also take part. Places are reserved for these students. Ulm University students can register via Moodle. Students from other universities should register via the PBS office in Ulm.

How does stress manifest in your body and mind? How do you care for yourself during times of stress? Do you ever feel isolated when facing stress in university life? In this four-week course, you'll have the opportunity to explore these questions through mindfulness and self-compassion. In our small online group, you'll discover that experiencing stress is a normal part of being human. Instead of battling these stressful feelings, which often adds more stress, I encourage you to experiment with mindfulness and self-compassion practices. During our time together, I'll present a variety of tools and strategies, empowering you to discover which resonate best with you and your lifestyle.

This course is tailored for international students but is open to all students who are comfortable participating in English. Attendance at the first online session is mandatory to enroll in the course. Please log in five minutes early and ensure you are in a quiet environment with a working microphone and camera. Kindly make sure that you can attend regularly to get the most out of this course. You will receive further information about the course when you register.

Furthermore supplementary materials through an online platform. Here, you'll find a brief summary of the previous session and suggestions for activities such as mindful eating rituals or meditations to try between sessions.

It is completely normal to feel nervous and restless in exam situations. However, if these feelings develop into anxiety, they can limit our performance. In this course, we want to create a safe space for self-reflection and exchange, where you will learn how to cope with exam stress using effective self-regulation techniques and how, in addition to efficient learning, new patterns of thinking and behavior can have a positive influence on your exam preparation. You will learn to develop a confident approach to performance pressure by drawing on your inner resources.

Students who attend a lecture for which a lab is offered have the opportunity to take part in the MathLab at a fixed weekly time (usually two to three hours), either alone or in small working groups. During this time, the tutors are available to answer questions about the lecture content or specific exercises. Working on exercises is an essential part of the introductory lectures, and the MathLabs are a great help here in particular.

Short description: The MathLab in CSE is based on the MathLab offered in pure mathematics degree programs. The difference: Here, students from higher semesters of the CSE degree program or experienced tutors take on the supervision. They provide support in particular in Higher Mathematics 1 and 2, answer questions about the lecture material, and help students gain a lasting understanding of the content. They also provide assistance with working through the exercises. The MathLab is an important source of support, especially in the introductory courses. The CSELab offers comparable support, but focuses on the courses offered by the Technical University, in particular Technical Mechanics 1–2 and Modeling and Simulation 1–2. Students in the CSE cooperative program face the particular challenge of dealing with the teaching formats of both the university and the technical college at the same time. While the university's structure is dominated by lectures, exercises, and tutorials, the courses at the technical college are more strongly designed as lectures with integrated exercises. The labs help students to master both teaching formats in parallel and to develop the appropriate learning strategy for each.

Target group: Students in the 1st/2nd semester of the B.Sc.

Offers of the subjects

A lot of input, you haven't yet finished any of the worksheets and it's already time for a new topic?! Don't panic! The individual subjects and subject areas at Ulm University offer first-semester students special formats to help them apply their new knowledge directly in so-called “Übungsblätter” (worksheets) or seminar papers. Whether it's the Learning Lounge, MathLab, Mentoring or Tutoring - there's something for every type of learner and you can quickly connect with fellow students and the subject matter! Because learning in groups and with support is doubly motivating and quickly leads to the desired success!
