Engagement

At the HNU, commitment is lived out. More than a third of our students are involved in student initiatives or work on a voluntary basis outside the university.

Learning through engagement

Volunteering enables you to apply the knowledge you have gained during your studies in practice and to acquire key qualifications for your future professional life. For many companies the topic of corporate social responsibility is becoming increasingly important.

There is a wide range of engagement formats, some of which are specially tailored to the needs of students. These include informal, non-binding programmes such as the "Aktionshelfer". Here you can get involved in individual activities according to your interests.

Your activity will be accompanied in the online course "Lernen durch Engagement" (opens in a new window) , in which you will reflect on your learning progress and competence acquisition and subsequently receive a certificate.

Commitment alongside your studies
