Welcome Freshmen!

New faces everywhere you go, campus tours and a whole lot of parties. All this can only mean one thing: our freshmen have finally arrived! Find out how we welcome our new students at the ESB.

Today is the day – we welcome our brand-new freshmen from all over the world!

Today our freshmen will see what campus and student life is like in Reutlingen. They will meet a lot of new people and their professors for the first time. Our International Business Student Committee, which we introduced to you last week, has organized a campus tour for the freshmen. Together they will explore the area of our campus in Reutlingen to show them all hotspots.

Introducing: Student Committee (StuCo)

Anna Kindlová, Lukas Zähringer, Francisco Yzusqui and Hannah Selbach 

Introduce yourself and tell us about your position in the StuCo and your tasks.

Francisco: I’m Francisco and I’m the current president of the Student Committee. My task is to have an overview over all internal and external activities that are going on at the ESB. Furthermore I’m also responsible for the supervision within the StuCo, like communication and finance. I would meet our student coordinators, Mrs Walker and Mrs Küster and our faculty adviser Mrs Werdich from time to time, in order to coordinate and organize events like the freshmen introductory day and some other events concerning the IB program. I also give each of the students a voice that is heard when major decisions for the ESB are made, coming together with other representatives from the Student Network, which is formed by the StuCo (IB), the Stubue (IMDD) and the StuVe (IOM). We meet once or twice a semester to discuss issues that concern the whole ESB in order to solve them and to present them in a meeting with the Dean, which takes place once a semester. 

7 tips for your start at the ESB

Freshmen, today it's getting serious for you! We've asked students from higher semesters to give you helpful tips for your start at the ESB.

Here they are. You're welcome.

Introducing: Außenwirtschaft/International Business GET TOGETHER

At the ESB networking is essential. Each day, we meet our classmates in lectures, the mensa or on campus. But that isn't enough for us! We also love to get in touch with former students, to ask them question about their carreer paths and of course tips for being successful inside and outside the classroom.

Gladly we are offered a great event bringing former fellow students, other Alumni as well as current International Business and Außenwirtschaft (former name of our program) students together.

This video explaines what the yearly AW/IB GET TOGETHER EVENT at Hochschule Reutlingen looks like.
The next GET TOGETHER will take place April 12. In case of questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Isabel or Nino (ib.gettogether@gmail.com) or Iris Walker (Iris.Walker@Reutlingen-University.de).

Introducing: Reutlingen University

Welcome to Reutlingen University. This little video below takes you on a little tour around our campus, showing you our classrooms, professors and students. Not enough? No problem! You will also get to see what Reutlingen and the region have to offer.
Enjoy!

Meet Lena

My name is Lena Hönes, I am 20 years old and a first semester IB student at ESB. After my Abitur in 2012 I spent 10 month in Central and South America: I worked as a teacher for pre-school pupils in Costa Rica and helped on a touristic farm in Chile. I enjoyed this trip very much and collected tons of good memories, new experiences and even learned a new language.

Meet Franzi

Hey everyone, my name is Franziska Neidhart. I’m currently studying IB in the third semester and I’m planning to do my internship in the coming semester somewhere in Germany. I was born in Karlsruhe but shortly afterwards moved to Regensburg (Bayern) where I’ve been living for the past 15 years. At my High School I did a few short term exchanges at our partner schools in Italy and America and engaged myself as a tutor, class representative, organized our graduation ceremony and prom. In June 2012 I finished High School and right afterwards started studying at the ESB, making me one of the younger ones here. The ESB spirit, English language and international composition of students made it easy for me to go for the ESB.
