Angesichts sinkender Studierendenzahlen wollen Unis sich um so mehr um die Erstsemester kümmern. Werden junge Erwachsene nur noch unterfordert? Wohl kaum – die Sache ist der Not geschuldet.
This article discusses a positive development in German universities: increased attention and support for first-year students ("Erstsemester").
While it's unfortunate that this extra effort is needed, it's a necessary response to two key challenges:
1. Declining student enrollments: Universities are facing fewer applicants, making it crucial to attract and retain students.
2. Changing student profiles: First-year students are arriving with high grades but lacking in self-reliance and broad knowledge compared to previous generations.
Therefore, universities are stepping up their efforts to better support these students, recognizing their needs in this evolving landscape.
