From Classics, Archaeology or ‘Cultural Studies and Management’ through German and Romance Studies to History, Philosophy or Language Science: the Faculty of Arts offers a wide range of subjects. What studying these subjects involves and what you should bear in mind when planning your studies will be presented in subject-specific talks during the information day. Relevant for teacher training students: From 9 am to 11 am, the Centre for Teacher Training will be presenting itself in the music hall (Building C5 1). From 11.30 am to 1 pm, the Central Examinations Office for Teacher Training will also be presenting itself there. All Bachelor’s students are recommended to attend the event organised by the Student Advisory Office at 10.30 am (Building B3 2, Lecture Theatre 0.03): Here, the programme coordinators and the Examinations Office will explain important aspects of the degree programme. Bachelor’s students may also find a talk on the new professional development module of interest; this forms part of all extended Bachelor’s major subjects and integrates more career guidance and practical skills into the degree programme (at 12.30 pm, Building B3 1, Lecture Theatre II).

Further talks (all in Building B3 1) offer valuable tips for all first-year students: for example, suggestions on how to identify career goals whilst studying the humanities (at 11.30 am) or how students can successfully work part-time alongside their studies and thereby positively influence their personal development (at 2 pm). Another session (at 1.15 pm) will cover how to plan a ‘ ’ period abroad whilst studying for a Bachelor’s degree or a teaching qualification, and what to bear in mind when planning and organising such a stay.

From 12.30 pm, information stands in Building B3 1 will showcase key university departments and support services: including the Faculty of Arts’ Student Office (from 9.00 am), the Career Centre, the University Office of the Job Centre, the ‘GoOut!’ Service Centre, the Saarland University and State Library (SULB), Unisport and the student health management programme ‘fit4more’. A campus rally is also being organised to help you get to know the campus better: it starts at 11.15 am and 1.15 pm in front of Building B3 1.

Venue: The Faculty of Arts’ Open Day will take place in buildings B3 1, B3 2 and the neighbouring music hall (C5 1).
