In the fourteenth episode of the Electrical Engineering podcast "Current Affairs", host Yvonne Liebau talks to Jan-Steffen Glüpker from Paderborn University's Central Student Advisory Service about the topic of student financing.
Together, they shed light on what it means to (partially) finance your studies yourself and what impact this can have on your time at university, your personal development and your everyday life. It's not just about the purely financial aspects, but also about topics such as self-organisation, practical experience, building social networks and dealing with stress. Jan-Steffen Glüpker also shares personal experiences and gives valuable tips on how to use the challenges of self-financing as an opportunity to acquire important skills for later professional life.
In addition, he points out support services offered by Paderborn University, such as psychosocial counselling or the services offered by the Studierendenwerk. The dialogue encourages people to talk openly about financial challenges and to actively seek help.
