Studying

PAKETH brings noticeable changes to the everyday student life. The sub-project Studying informs current students and prospective students about the key changes, supports students with various information and advisory services, and coordinates the implementation of the Onboarding Week for new Bachelor's and Master's students.

This website provides general information and the current status of the individual work streams of the sub-project ‘Studying’.

You will also find opportunities to get involved in the concept phase of the ‘Onboarding Week’.

In addition, you will have access to various documents and templates on the topics of study orientation, student communication and counselling.

Specific information on information events for students can be found here.

 

All relevant information and details about events for current and prospective students can be found on the PAKETH website for students.

Students and prospective students may direct any questions to:

History of status messages

A look back at the path that PAKETH has already travelled:

For the student orientation days, there was a centrally organised briefing for the involved students. The first online briefing took place online on 12 June 2025 at 17:00. The briefing was recorded and made available to the study programmes.

The kick-off of the Onboarding Week task force took place on 6 June 2025. Participants came from various degree programs, ID , the Library, UTL , StS , AkD , 365体育官网_365体育备用【手机在线】 Services, and the Rector’s Staff. They worked on initial concepts of the core elements. 

If you are interested in actively participating in the Onbaording Week task force, please send a message to:

The main onboarding events (Prestudy Events and Check in ETH) and the student orientation days will be continuously extended to include content on PAKETH - in particular on the changes to the academic calendar.

The first PAKETH newsletter for all Bachelor's students with a link to the new website for students has been successfully published.

Master's students are not addressed in this newsletter as they are expected to have completed their studies by the 2027 autumn semester.

The communication concept for students and prospective students has been finalised and made available on SharePoint.

The consultation period for submissions on the concept adjustment has expired and the results have been summarised in a protected page report.

The decisions of the PAKETH steering group on the open implementation decisions were communicated to the Stuko on 6 March 2025. 

The Rector has definitively approved the introduction of the Onboarding Week in the 2027 autumn semester. The detailed concept phase will start in June 2025.
