Exercise and sport

The University Sports Centre offers numerous courses and activities on the subject of exercise and sport every semester. Being physically active is also recommended as a balance to the mental stress of studying. Regular exercise and sports are good for physical and mental health, the ability to concentrate and even sleep can improve.

 

Relaxation and Resource Management

A mindful attitude, methods of relaxation and a careful approach to oneself are important prerequisites for health and well-being. In thematic weeks and health seminars such as the TK-MentalStrategien and Stressless Academy qualified trainers teach strategies and techniques for Balancing private life and studies (find more at "News").
The services offered by the Central Study and Student Advisory Service on time and learning management also support the optimal use of one's own resources. If you have questions about the organization of your studies, insurance, etc., or personal problems, the advisory compass will point you in the right direction.

Gesundheitsbotschafter*innen

It is important to us at the TU Ilmenau to let students speak on health-related topics themselves. That is why we are testing the use of student Gesundheitsbotschafter*innen. At Instagram and at campus events, the Gesundheitsbotschafter*innen provide information, tips and exercises that are good for your health, promote well-being and support successful studying.

If you would like to contact the Gesundheitsbotschafter*innen with questions and ideas, you can find the addresses here.
