Imagine it's the end of August. You've had a great summer: holidays, earning some extra money, streaming when it rained, festivals... Did someone say party? But now, the holiday season is truly over.

Time for a reality check: am I ready for 2026/2027? We'll give you a helping hand.
Visit an open day at a university of applied sciences
Still unsure about your future study programme? An open day is the best way to really get to know a university of applied sciences and its programmes. You can talk to students, ask lecturers your questions, and get a feel for the atmosphere. In May and June 2026, several universities of applied sciences are still organising open days. We've listed a number of them for you.

Why a good book list makes the difference for your students
It may seem like a small detail: the book list. But ask a first-year student who orders the wrong book, or a lecturer who realises halfway through the semester that half the class is working with a different edition. Then you suddenly realise how important a good book list is — with the right titles, the right editions and the correct EANs. Anita, learning materials list coordinator at Studiewinkel, helps universities of applied sciences every day with compiling their book lists.
