Dear students,

First of all, I hope and wish you are doing well and that you have enjoyed the vacations with your families and friends, recovered well from the efforts of the last semester and especially the many celebrations for the New Year of the Dragon.

The new semester has already begun and time has flown by. While some of you are now in your second year of study (and therefore no longer freshmen), students on other courses are now in their third and even fourth year. In particular, the latter students on the International Business course will receive their Bachelor's certificate at the end of this semester after completing their Bachelor's thesis and passing one or two examinations.  

Other students will only be at SZTU for a relatively short time in the new semester because they are doing their internships, for which I wish them many interesting insights and new knowledge.

Dear students, you will all be expected to perform well this semester, which I am convinced you will master with flying colors. However, this requires commitment, persistence, diligence, a certain degree of ambition, punctuality and team spirit. The latter in particular is always easier if you sit down together and discuss the material you have learned or are about to learn and help each other.

Nevertheless, it is generally known that you should not be too tense or too ambitious despite all the work you have to do. It's all about finding the right balance. You have to take breaks from time to time and also enjoy student life. Be it that you are involved in sport, art, music or social activities and thus enrich campus life.

I wish you all a good start to the new semester and a successful and smooth course.

Welcome to the new semester 2024.

With sunny greetings

Yours,

Holger Haldenwang

Dean of SZTU BS
