The University Sports Center at the University of Regensburg will transition to a new online platform at the beginning of April. This will allow users to purchase tickets, register for courses, and more—all online. In addition to a desktop application, there will also be an app that serves as an ID.

Students and staff of OTH can use their RZ account for registration. There are also updates to the pricing structure: From now on, you can start at any time and choose between a 3-month or annual subscription.

More details about the platform will be provided in the coming weeks. Registration and subscription purchases will be available from early April, and courses will begin on April 23.

Various games and sports equipment can be borrowed free of charge from the student representation office using your student card.

The office of the student representation (Student House Y 002) is regularly open from Monday to Thursday between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM, but it is often staffed outside of these office hours as well.

Whether digital or analog, in the lecture hall, office or at the kitchen table - lectures, discussions and meetings are appointments that can be extremely tiring, especially due to long periods of sitting and the concentration required. If the air is also stale or the coffee has run out, dozing off is virtually unavoidable.

The active break is designed for precisely this situation. Short videos (around 6 minutes each) instruct and demonstrate easy movement exercises that can be carried out in any lecture hall, conference room or office. Firmly integrated into everyday university life, regular active breaks keep you fit, healthy and focused - for a radiant performance, even on long days.

The videos were made available with the kind support of the University of Regensburg.

OTH Regensburg offers general student counseling forall students. There is also the opportunity to take advantage of psychosocial counseling.

The OTH campus is largely barrier-free and therefore also interesting for students with physical disabilities. You can find more information about studying with chronic disabilities in the brochure designed for this purpose

Students with children or relatives to care for receive support from the family-friendly university.

At DEIN STUDIERENDENLEBEN - Studierendenvertretung (othr.de), OTH Regensburg offers the Nightline listening hotline, as well as self-help groups run by students for students on topics such as anxiety disorders, eating problems, depression, etc.

A special focus in the gymnastics hall will be on the topic of mental health. In addition to screenings, short workshops of approximately 10 minutes as well as various information booths will be offered.

Everyone is warmly invited to attend the Long Night and explore the wide range of offerings.
