The universities are following national guidelines and seek to create the safest possible working and learning environment for both employees and students.

The previous academic year demonstrated that while e-learning was an interesting experience, many students got tired of learning alone online and wished to see their classmates and teachers face-to-face again to have direct contact and learn more effectively.

Extracurricular activities are no less important: a lively student life is part of the university experience and, if you are vaccinated, you can participate in student events and joint activities.

Universities have implemented all measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Unfortunately, the efforts of the universities alone are not enough here, the students also need to contribute. 

Vaccination of students and employees ensures more effective protection against the coronavirus. This, in turn, allows us to continue face-to-face learning in the autumn to a greater extent than before and to enjoy a healthy social life.

Universities are offering students, university staff and local residents an opportunity to conveniently get their vaccination free of charge at the university.
