„It is the idea that studying at university not only opens up better economic and social opportunities, not only promises a career, but also offers the opportunity for a richer development of human talents, for an appropriate fulfillment of one's own purpose.“ – Max Horkheimer
An autonomous tutorial is a tutorial by students for students, outside of the prescribed teaching program. Research topics from all subject areas can be covered. Autonomous tutorials offer the opportunity to pursue research interests in an informal way and to deepen these together. Without the guidance of lecturers and away from Bologna constraints. To this end, we would like to create a free space in which interested students can come together who would otherwise not have found each other in the anonymous everyday study routine.
An autonomous tutorial depends on the participation and collaboration of all participants. The "tutors" are not lecturers. After all, the aim should be to work together on a scientific topic and to enrich each other.
The Autonomous Tutorials would like to continue to open up spaces to promote a different way of studying alongside the condensed curricula. To this end, we are once again offering you a varied program this semester. All events are open to students from all departments. The tutorials are not linked to courses.
The project is supported by your General Student Committee (AStA). The organization of the tutorials, on the other hand, is the responsibility of the students who offer them and the students who take part in them. The AStA acts as coordinator and stays out of all content-related matters. The tutorials are selected by a selection committee appointed by the AStA in an anonymous application process.
Perhaps you are planning to apply for an autonomous tutorial yourself next semester? You can find all the information you need on our application page
