Study better
As a place of study, Bielefeld offers a social science microcosm of enormous diversity, where every student can find courses (electronic course catalogue (ekvv)) that match their own interests and inclinations. In addition to the current events calendar, there are many facilities that will help you in your everyday study life or when working on your thesis. These include, for example, the media lending service, the internshipoffice, the methods lab or the faculty's PC pools. Here you will find the right technical tools to help you conduct interviews or collect and analyse statistical data.
If you want to find out more about the university, the faculty and everyday student life, you can contact your departmental student representative committee at and get to know nice people. The Sozcafé in X-C2-116 also offers you a cosy place for meetings, music and, of course, coffee. People with a passion for writing or photography are also very welcome at the student magazine SOZusagen.
Last but not least, there are also a number of interesting student groups at the university that deal with political, economic, social/charitable and cultural issues. Friends of physical activity will most likely find their happiness in one of the diverse courses of the university sports programme.
