8/9Tips for a Successful Start
1 You still have no idea about your programme’s structure, examinations and study
regulations? Having a look at the study and examination regulations will help you to
get the picture. www.reutlingen-university.de/stupros
More downloads & links: www.esb-business-school.de/en/degree-programmes/
bachelor/bsc-international-business/downloads-links/
2 Ask, ask, ask! Having a lot of questions at the beginning of your studies is very
normal. Don’t hesitate to ask whenever you have a question. Your programme
coordinators, classmates, lecturers or study advisory service staff – they are all
there for you during your time at Reutlingen University (see page 12).
3 Get involved! There are many student groups which you are welcome to join. IB has
its own IB vision and StuCo (student committee) groups where you can meet fellow
students from higher semesters and get involved in a range of activities. You will get
more information on these groups during the orientation days. Moreover, the
university also has its own student parliament (StuPa) and oikos, a sustainability
group which welcome students from all schools.

4 Make use of our many support services! During the semester, Reutlingen University
offers student support in different areas. Get advice at weekly math workshops in
the library, during study counselling or academic writing counselling sessions and
other services.
