On Tuesday, we were delighted to welcome over 100 first-semester students from the Vocational Education in Metal and Electrical Engineering, Vocational Education in Health and Business Education courses to our university. The bon mot "There's magic in every beginning" (Hesse) may sound trite, but many of us at the Institute experienced their own start to their studies, sometimes several decades ago, in exactly the same way and wish the same for our new students. May they gain exciting insights, have interesting experiences, get to know great people and develop themselves further!

As Prof. Dr. Michael Goller was sitting as an examiner in a disputation, his colleague Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Haack from the Institute of Vocational Education and Training stood in for him this year. You can also see him in the picture.

Welcome, dear students!
