For many, starting university marks the beginning of a new phase in their lives - with new environments, new responsibilities and new challenges. For first-generation students, however, starting their studies is often more difficult than for their fellow students from academic households.
The aim of the Diversity-Buddy-Programme ‘1stGeneration@HHU’ is therefore to help students who are the first in their family to study to overcome hurdles and make studying easier for them. In the best case scenario, long-term networks are established and friendships formed that extend beyond the Buddy-Programme.
Duration: 1 year
Start: annually in the winter semester
