Current information on the coronavirus

In their crisis team letter no. 29, the FHWS board of management answers frequently asked questions about the upcoming exam period. All questions and answers have also been added to the FAQ page for students.

Additonally, there is now the possibility to receive a confirmation from FHWS if students have to stay overnight in a hotel in order to be able to attend the face-to-face exams, because the necessity for this must be substantiated (see Section 14 (1) sentence 1 of the 11th BayInfSMV). All information as well as the required form are available for download.

Update 18 Jan 2021:
The most important protective measures as well as information about the entrances to FHWS exam locations are available on the FHWS intranet (Login required: k-number + password).

(1 Dec 2020)

In accordance with §21 of the 9th Bavarian regulation on infection prevention and control measures (9. Bayerische Infektionsschutzmaßnahmenverordnung) face-to-face courses at higher education institutions must only take place under certain circumstances.
For FHWS, this means that the face-to-face courses, which are in any case closely tied to the compelling necessity and which go beyond what is now permitted, will be cancelled or take place online.

Please refer to the usual information channels of your faculty or degree programme for more detailed information. They are working hard to update the schedules as soon as possible and to provide corresponding information.

Further information of the Studentenwerks (German only)

Access to the validation machines on Campus Ignaz Schön and Campus Münzstraße is possible. For details, please visit our FAQ page.

Individual work in FHWS labs, e.g. in the context of final theses, is approved by the head of the faculty concerned at the request of the module manager AND the student(s). In this case, please contact the module manager.

In the case of practical courses/lab courses in small groups, which necessarily require physical presence at FHWS, it may be possible for study-related reasons to hold these in the FHWS buildings. You will be notified individually by your faculty.

The FHWS Library offers at least basic services as long as this is legally allowed.

For more details on opening hours, terms and conditions, please refer to the library’s website.

You can borrow items from HMZ only by appointment and will then be picked up in front of the building. For more information, please visit the pages of HMZ. 

This is only possible for exceptional cases and on application (online application in the FHWS Intranet). It is meant for those students who have no or too weak an Internet connection at home or in a student residence and who therefore are unable or not sufficiently able to use the digital course offerings necessary for their studies.

The use of the Internet access at FHWS and the stay in the building is to be reduced to a minimum and is only permitted for the following purposes:

• Participation in video conferences or other digital courses for exchange with other students or the lecturer. (Only possible with headset/headphones)
• Online research (time-limited, i.e. not just surfing the Internet)
• Download of teaching materials
