University Location Gera: Educational Growth and Opportunities

This video shows Thuringia’s university locations. These higher educational institutions provide an attraction towards companies, which would profit from research as well as employment. Also they promise the settlement of young students, which could lead to the opening of clubs and bars.

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is … and the topic of my today`s presentation is: University location Gera

Unlike Jena, Weimar, Erfurt and Ilmenau known for their rather old universities, Gera hasn’t had a higher educational institution until 1998. With the foundation of the University of Cooperative Education and the private SRH Fachhochschule of health Gera thas tried to catch up in the central German competition.

My presentation is divided into 3 parts. I will talk briefly about the current status and then discuss the development into a university location. At Last I will give you a quick foresight.

Current status:

The campus of the University of Cooperative Education and the university campus on Hofwiesenpark, two higher educational institutions, characterize the cityscape.

Currently the two facilities combined have approximately 1600 students. But in 2015 alone was a registered student’s rise of 10 percent.

On request Gera offers to pay 100 euros annually for students moving their main residence there, limited to 3 years per student. This is the statement of the city: Students are welcomed here.

Development into a university city

Gera the third largest town of Thuringia, combines ideal study conditions including diverse cultural and leisure time facilities. But it will never be a classical location. Low living costs, cheap parking and possibilities of childcare are more important than the idea of an excessive student life.

Prime minister of Thuringia said that Gera has evolved to be the centre of Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.

University of Cooperative Education

At the cooperative education Gera Eisenach practical and theoretical phases switch, which means students will not only stay in Gera with this mixture seen positively. This could turn out to be the unique selling point in central Germany

Both locations offer ten Bachelor courses of studies with 26 deepening focuses in the fields of economy, technology and social. Since its foundation 5000 students have already graduated.

In July 2016 the Cooperative Education will be transformed into Duale Hochschule Gera- Eisenach, which will be the tenth university in Thuringia


What are the consequences of this?

The annual budget will have been grown from 8.1 million to 11.3 million in2019. Therefore the institution receives more money for additional staff, offers teaching and research offers. The number of students is expected to increase from 1200 to 1500 as well as ten more professorial posts are planned to be added.

Furthermore the full bachelor will be introduced to protect the recognition of one’s degree.

Future

Future possibilities would be the adaption of master courses and an easier access for doctoral candidates.

Beside the future Duale Hochschule there is still the private institution.

2006 founded as first private institution in the State of Thuringia

2008 started with four bachelor degree courses and 77 students

2011 start of the integral apprenticeship model and the first master course

2013 700 students attended the faculty

2015 more than 900 students in eleven subjects of study

This chart published in the winter semester 15/16 shows the constant rise of numbers of students.

The private institution will be changed into a university in the future

In addition to that a free college for creativity including a cultural centre is planned. This facility should strengthen the university location Gera and offer space for up to 500 students.

On account of the cooperation with the practise partners the town would like to use the chance to protect manpower.

The aim is to give students a home to make them feel comfortable so they want to stay here and to spread the feeling.
