Become a UW/H Ambassador
As students, you are important ambassadors for the UW/H. What you say about the UW/H carries weight with prospective students, parents and other groups of people. Through your statements about and reports on the UW/H, you paint a picture of the UW/H and convey a certain impression of the UW/H to outsiders. You can best and above all give prospective students and other groups of people an authentic insight into the degree programs and studies at the UW/H.
The Communication & Marketing Department offers students the following opportunities below to participate in marketing the UW/H and thus contribute to keeping our university diverse and vibrant. We greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide!
If you have basic questions about marketing or ideas about how we can raise awareness of UW/H and its degree offerings, please feel free to contact us.
UW/H study magazine
The UW/H student magazine provides an overview of our degree programs, our vibe and our campus as well as student life in Witten and ten good reasons to study at the UW/H. You will soon be able to download the UW/H student magazine as a PDF here.
In this way, you can help to inspire prospective students to come to UW/H:

Online reviews
Evaluations on the Internet are essential for the UW/H: They are the first decision-making aids for prospective students as to whether a university is attractive to them or not. Prospective students are particularly interested in negative or critical comments made by students at a university. Too many bad evaluations can lead to prospective students deciding against a university in advance.
Evaluations also have an influence on the position in which the UW/H is listed in the search results of Internet search engines. The number, timeliness, and content of reviews contribute to whether or not search engines consider a website relevant and thus display it in top positions in search results. Therefore, it is important for UW/H to get as many reviews as possible and also to keep getting new reviews.
Reviews on Google as well as on the study portal StudyCHECK are important for the UW/H. At StudyCHECK, the UW/H also has the chance to win an award if we receive more than 100 reviews per year. StudyCHECK also gives away attractive prizes to all reviewers, such as Apple AirPods, Ikea vouchers, and more.

Introduce degree programs to schools - Become a UW/H Ambassador!
The main target group for UW/H's undergraduate degree programs are high school students. Many students are not yet familiar with the UW/H and its study programs. The student initiative "UW/H-Ambassadors" has set itself the goal to make the UW/H known at schools and to show what makes the UW/H so special, i.e. to represent the "Witten spirit" and the special atmosphere at the UW/H. The students should learn how worthwhile the UW/H is for their own studies. The students should learn how worthwhile a study at the UW/H is for their own future - and you as students are the best ambassadors for this!
The concept is to send students in groups of two to four to a school in order to present the study programs of the UW/H there. The students give a short presentation, which is provided by the initiative, and distribute flyers and merchandise to the students.
A school visit will ideally take place at your former school. However, the initiative and the UW/H are also happy if visits to several schools are possible.
As a thank you, there will be a here-we-grow t-shirt for everyone who participates. There is also a special agreement for students of the Faculty of Economics & Society.
For more information, please contact Jan Herwig of the initiative at jan.herwig@ uni-wh.de.
Career and study information fairs
We regularly represent the UW/H at career and study information fairs in the surrounding area. For each fair, we put together a team of students who inform prospective students at the fair in one-on-one meetings about the study opportunities and studying at the UW/H.
If you would like to participate, please register using this form and we will contact you and let you know everything you need to know:
