The Study Network is a program of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts ( Department) designed to support students in as many areas as possible during the initial phase of their studies. Student scouts are on hand to assist students with academic, organizational, and personal matters.
The offer of the study network includes:
- daily office hours in the study room (NB 03)
- topic specific workshops
- Visits to the study groups for the lectures Physics and Mathematical Methods
- contactable via e-mail (studiennetzwerk(at)physik.rub.de)
The technical support is especially aimed at students participating in the basic physics lectures (EP I-III, TP I-III, MM).

Study Network FAQ
What is the study network?
The Study Network is a program offered by Department academic, organizational, and personal support to students during their first semester. It integrates the “Tutorial” and “Physics Helpdesk” programs into a comprehensive framework.
Who are the scouts?
The Scouts are upper-level students who are eager to help their fellow students get started in their studies. They’re happy to support you with their expertise and experience—whether by offering advice on your studies, helping you choose modules, assisting with lecture review, or providing academic explanations for assignments or lecture content.
What are the offerings during office hours?
The Study Network offers daily office hours in the student workroom ('Studiraum') on NB 03 South. During the office hours, you will find professional support, for example, in solving exercise notes or preparing lecture content. We also help you with the organization of your exam preparation and your studies as a whole.
What workshops does the study network offer?
The workshops are organized by the scouts and are based on the needs of the students. Topics can be both technical and organizational in nature. The format of the workshops depends on the topics, from short presentations by the scouts to independent development of solutions in groups, everything is conceivable.
Why do the scouts visit the learning groups?
For the lectures Physics I/II and Mathematical Methods of Physics weekly study groups take place, which are led by students of higher semesters. The scouts regularly visit the study groups in order to be available as contact persons for technical, organizational and personal concerns regarding the studies.
Where can I find more information about the study network?
All information about the study network can be found in the Moodle course of the study network. Also, feel free to drop by the office hours and talk to a scout in person!
