Our Student Ambassador Florian
My name is Florian, I am 23 years old and attended the UNCW in the fall semester of 2018. I am studying economics and have attended four courses at the Cameron School of Business. I especially recommend the courses ”Principles of Management” and ”Leadership and Organizational Change”. The professors have designed the lessons very interesting and I have taken a lot of helpful information back to Germany. In general, I really enjoyed my time at UNCW and I am glad to have chosen this university. Especially the beautiful campus and the proximity to the beach, as well as the exciting campus life I liked. With the Chancellor’s Walk and the Wagoner Hall, there was a place where you could always meet familiar faces. Wilmington convinced me with an interesting city center and a warm climate. In addition, Charlotte, Myrtle Beach or the Outer Banks can be reached in a few hours by car.
UNCW - Students Recreation Center
Do you love to work out or improve your fitness? If so, the UNCW is the perfect university for you!
Sports courts, an indoor and outdoor pool, group exercise studios, climbing walls – the list of activities at the UNC Wilmington is endless. So whenever you have time between your classes or just want to meet up with friends, the Student Recreation Center (SRC) is your place to go.
The SRC creates opportunities for individuals to improve their total fitness, develop healthy lifestyle habits, improve sports and outdoor recreation skills, reduce stress, increase energy level, improve strength and endurance, realize the positive rewards from an active lifestyle as well as meet and interact with others.
Wrightsville Beach - time to go surfing!
This is Wrightsville beach which is just a couple minutes away from the UNCW. It was rewarded as one of the 20 best surf beaches worldwide from National Geographics. Don't miss out the opportunity to catch the next wave!
UNCW Student Mentor Program
Have you heard of the International Student Mentor Program offered by the UNCW? No? Then you should definitely continue reading.
The International Student Program pairs you with a student from UNCW. This is very helpful as you already get in contact with them before even being in the states. Before I came to Wilmington, I had the opportunity to get to know my student mentor by email and she also offered to pick me up from the airport. This was very helpful as I arrived on Wednesday and the shuttles organized by the university were only running on the weekend after I arrived. At the beginning of the semester I still had many questions regarding classes and university in general. A tip from me for you: If you are not sure about something and you do have a student mentor, do not hesitate to contact them. All the student mentors have been abroad so they know how you are feeling, and they are willing to help you as good as they can.

Erfahrungsbericht Griffith College Dublin - by Jessi L.
Ein Semester im Ausland bietet sowohl persönlich, als auch beruflich viele neue Perspektiven und Erfahrungen. Zum einen wollte ich meine Fähigkeiten im Gebrauch der englischen Sprache verbessern und meinen Wortschatz erweitern. Aber es war mir auch wichtig mich einer solchen Herausforderung zu stellen, um selbstständiger und spontaner zu werden. Ein „normales Studentenleben“ einmal zu erleben ist gerade für einen DH Studenten sicher erstrebenswert. Da an der DH die Zeiten und Kurse sehr streng gelegt sind, bietet ein Studium im Ausland die Möglichkeit auch einmal die etwas flexiblere und eigenständigere Art des Studierens an einer „normalen“ Universität zu erfahren. Ich habe mich für das Griffith College in Dublin entschieden und diese Entscheidung auch nicht bereut. Vorbereitung des Aufenthalts Die vorläufige Anmeldung des Auslandsemesters erfolgt im Mai des Jahres vor dem geplanten Semester im Ausland. Bis zur endgültigen Anmeldung bleibt jedoch Zeit bis Herbst. Am besten informiert man sich im Voraus auf der Website des Auslandamts der DHBW und schaut sich die Website des Griffith Colleges einmal an. Zudem hatte ich einen Termin mit einer Mitarbeiterin des Auslandsamts, welche mir sehr dabei geholfen hat die richtige Uni im Ausland zu finden. Außerdem hat sie mir viele wichtige Informationen bezüglich des Anmeldeverfahrens und benötigter Dokumente gegeben. Bei Fragen während des Bewerbungsprozesses konnte ich mich auch immer an Florian Burkhardt wenden. Er ist der „German Office Manager“ des Griffith College in Deutschland und kümmert sich gerne und schnell um die Anliegen der zukünftigen Studenten. 2 Eines der benötigten Dokumente zur Vorbereitung ist das Learning Agreement. Dieses wird zwischen dir und der DH abgeschlossen. Hierbei geht es darum im Voraus zu schauen welche der Kurse, die man in Deutschland verpasst, man mit welchen Kursen am Griffith College abdecken kann. Das Learning Agreement hilft also vor Ort bei der Kurswahl und ist eine Sicherheit, dass die Kurse im Ausland auch an der DH angerechnet werden. Im Bereich BWL- DLM ist Herr Prof. Dr. Augenstein für das Agreement verantwortlich und hilft gerne bei Fragen. Eine Liste mit den in Dublin angebotenen Kursen kommt allerdings erst nach der endgültigen Anmeldung am Griffith College. Allerdings ist es gerade für den Studiengang BWL- DLM immer recht einfach alle Kurse abzudecken und oftmals bleibt sogar noch eine Wahlmöglichkeit. Ebenfalls zur Vorbereitung des Semesters in Irland gehört auch die Wohnungssuche. Hier gibt es generell zwei Möglichkeiten: ein Zimmer im Studentenwohnheim auf dem Campus oder eine private Bleibe. Insgesamt muss man mit recht hohen Mieten im Vergleich zu Deutschland rechnen. Ich habe mich für eine private Bleibe in Dublin entschieden. Hierbei war mir besonders die Website www.daft.ie behilflich. Hierzu gibt es aber auch viele Tipps auf der Website des Colleges. Wenn man diesen Weg wählt ist es wichtig noch keine Verträge von Deutschland aus zu unterschreiben oder gar Zahlungen im Voraus zu leisten. Da Dublin sehr international ist, suchen viele Leute aus dem Ausland Wohnungen, was leider auch Missbrauch und Betrug mit sich bringt. In Irland ist es allerdings so, dass man, schnell Wohnungen und Zimmer anschauen kann und, wenn man eine Zusage hat, innerhalb von 24h auch dort einziehen kann. Viele Iren und Irinnen die alleine in Häusern oder großen Wohnungen leben vermieten dort ein Zimmer unter und man lebt sozusagen in einer WG. So habe ich auch bei einer netten älteren irischen Dame gewohnt, mit der ich mich sehr gut verstanden habe und die mir auch einmal ausgeholfen hat, wenn ich Tipps oder gar ein Auto brauchte.
Mein Auslandsjahr am Griffith College in Dublin, Irland - by Jonas R.
Irland bietet viele tolle Landschaften und eine Menge an Aktivitäten in und um Dublin. Die Stadt kann man meiner Meinung nach am besten zu Fuß erkunden. Besonders sehenswert in Dublin und ganz Irland fand ich die Grafton Street Area, den Phoenix Park, die Cliffs of Moher, den Wild Atlantic Way, den Giants Causeway und den Ring of Kerry. Etwas kleinere Ausflüge von Dublin aus können z. B. nach Howth oder Dun Laoghaire unternommen werden. Außerdem gibt es einen sehr schönen Cliffwalk zwischen Brey und Greystones. Oder man macht einen Ausflug zum Strand der Dublin Bay bei Sandymount. Von dort aus kann man auch zum Poolbeg Leuchtturm spazieren. Griffith College Das College liegt im Süden von Dublin, ungefähr 20 bis 25 Minuten zu Fuß vom Stadtkern entfernt. Eine Bushaltestelle befindet sich in direkter Nähe zum College. Ich persönlich rate allen Studierenden, die Einführungsveranstaltungen zu Beginn des Semesters zu besuchen. Hier werden wichtige Informationen zum Studienalltag, zum College selbst und zum Leben in Dublin weitergegeben. Das International Office klärt die Incoming Students zudem über die Beantragung der sogenannten PPS Number auf. Diese muss beantragt werden, wenn man einen Abschluss von einem College in Irland erhalten möchte (IB). Man braucht diese allerdings auch, wenn man sich vor Ort einen Nebenjob suchen möchte. Über die beiden Semester belegt man insgesamt drei Hauptfächer, das semesterübergreifende Modul „Business Plan“, sowie zwei Wahlfächer pro Semester. In den ersten beiden Wochen je Semester hat man die Möglichkeit, alle Vorlesungen der Wahlfächer zu besuchen. Spätestens nach diesen beiden Wochen muss man sich dann für zwei Module entscheiden. Was hierbei sehr schade war: es werden leider nicht alle Kurse angeboten, die anfangs bei der Bewerbung im Modulhandbuch zur Auswahl standen. In meinem zweiten Semester z. B. waren viele Studierende mit dem Fächerangebot unzufrieden. Auf Anfrage und Bitte wurde aber ein Kurs dann doch noch angeboten und eine Dozentin dafür organisiert. Bei solchen Angelegenheiten ist das College sehr verständnisvoll und bemüht. Die Studienweise in Irland ist anders im Vergleich zu Deutschland. Angefangen bei wöchentlich längeren Vorlesungszeiten (vier Stunden für Hauptfächer, drei Stunden für Wahlfächer und eine Stunde Tutorium in jedem Fach) über einen höheren Aufwand unter dem Semester (Assignments in jedem Fach) bis hin zu dreistündigen Prüfungen (essay style) am Semesterende. Die Hausarbeiten stellten zu Beginn eine große Herausforderung dar, da wir solche nie zuvor an der Hochschule Landshut schreiben mussten. Hierbei ist ein gutes Zeitmanagement wichtig. Mit der Zeit lernt man aber, worauf es ankommt und wie man die Recherchen besser angeht. Die Prüfungen sind meiner Meinung nach gut machbar, wenn man die Vorlesungen und Tutorien regelmäßig besucht. Man weiß dann, worauf es den Dozenten ankommt. Skripte werden gebunden ausgeteilt und den Vorlesungsstoff findet man zudem auf der Online-Plattform Moodle. Die meisten Professoren haben den Stoff in der letzten Vorlesung noch eingegrenzt. In der Prüfung werden sechs offene Fragen gestellt, von denen man vier in drei Stunden beantworten muss. Die Antwort wird in Form von Aufsätzen verlangt. In den meisten Fächern setzt sich die Endnote aus 60% Prüfungsnote und 40% Assignmentnote zusammen. Alternativ gibt es noch die Gewichtungen 80%/20% und 50%/50%. In einigen Fächern wird zusätzlich eine Präsentation der Hausarbeit verlangt. Der Business Plan kann an der Hochschule Landshut als Bachelorarbeit angerechnet werden. Hierbei setzt man eine Geschäftsidee um und gründet ein fiktives Start-up Unternehmen. Diese Aufgabe erschien am Anfang aussichtslos und sehr aufwändig. Dass es viel Aufwand ist kann ich bestätigen, aber wenn man seine Zeit gut plant und kontinuierlich daran arbeitet kommt man gut damit klar. Als erstes reicht man einen Vorschlag zur Geschäftsidee ein. Daraufhin werden den Studierenden sogenannte Supervisor zugeteilt. Da diese aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen kommen, hatten sie auch jeweils andere Anforderungen und Erwartungen, was schließlich auch manchmal zu gefühlt unfairen Bewertungen führte. Mein Supervisor war sehr kompetent und hilfsbereit – andere Studierende hatten nicht so viel Glück und wurden weniger unterstützt. Ich persönlich fand es besonders hilfreich, dass man in mehreren Etappen einzelne Entwürfe einreicht, die dann korrigiert werden. So hat man mehrere Deadlines einzuhalten und der Aufwand wird über das Jahr hinweg verteilt. Durch das Feedback kann man die Entwürfe verbessern und weiter ausbauen und dann im Enddokument verwenden. Jedes Semester gibt es die sogenannte Readingweek welche zum Schreiben von Assignments genutzt werden kann. In dieser Woche finden keine Vorlesungen oder Tutorien statt. Falls man diese extra Zeit nicht benötigt um Hausarbeiten zu schreiben, kann man sie gut für Besuche oder Reisen nutzen.
