Invitation to the TK-StudyGuide 2025

Student life comes with plenty of challenges: stressful exams, countless assignments, and the constant balancing act between studies and personal life. The TK-StudyGuide is the perfect companion to help you stay healthy, organized, and successful throughout your studies.

What’s new in the TK-StudyGuide 2025?

We’re starting the new semester with freshly updated content, shaped by the feedback and wishes of last semester’s participants.

For the winter term 2025/26, students can choose from 38 inspiring webinars covering topics such as:

• Arriving in Germany – orientation and support for international students

• Mental health in student life – strategies for stress, pressure, and overwhelm

• Self-marketing in job applications – practical tips for your career start

• Nutrition and social media – trends, tips, and evidence-based insights

All webinars are available in both German and English.

Easy, digital, and free

The TK-StudyGuide is a free digital offer that universities can easily integrate into their own programs – with no additional organizational effort and without tying up extra staff resources. Individual webinars can also be shared separately.

All details and direct links to the sessions can be found in the TK Webinar Overview WiSe 25/26, including a section with additional Info Sessions.

Why the TK-StudyGuide is worth it

The TK-StudyGuide directly addresses the findings of the 2023 Health Report (“How are Germany’s students doing?”). Its goal is to inform and raise awareness among students at an early stage in a practical way. This not only benefits students themselves but can also help reduce the overall demand for counseling at universities.

The event series is aimed at students and early-career researchers who want to conduct research using existing data, as well as teachers.

The next season will focus on data from educational research. It starts on January 15!

When? Starting January 15, 2026, every third Thursday of the month, 1:15-2:00 p.m.

Where? Online (via Zoom)

• More Information (in German)

The lecture offers an overview of the most important institutions of the German science system. It is aimed at all those interested in gaining an in-depth understanding of our science system in its interrelationships between university and non-university institutions of research and teaching, science funding and science policy.

The lecture aims to provide an overview of this complex system and a presentation of its systemic interrelationships. By presenting the historical differentiation of the German science system since 1945, the special situation and unusual diversity of institutions in the context of federalism will be presented in an easily comprehensible and exciting way.
