Study healthy

Welcome to ‘How to be fit’ - Healthy studying at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences

A joint project of the university and the AOK

Prof. Dr Sibylle Gaisser and Prof. Dr Knoblauch from the Industrial Biotechnology degree programme (IBT) are in charge of the project and Ms Pfeiffer is coordinating the project, which is funded by AOK Bayern.

Studying and living healthily? Sounds like a challenge that we want to master together!

With our project ‘How to be fit’, together with the AOK, we show you that it is possible to train your brain cells as well as your muscles. Our ‘How to be fit’ project offers lots of fun and interesting facts to take your health to the next level. You can look forward to workshops and seminars where you will learn how to magically eliminate stress in the blink of an eye while remaining calm.

There are also cool fitness and exercise programmes as well as smart nutritional advice - everything you need to get through your studies fit, happy and fantastic!

We firmly believe that a healthy lifestyle not only makes you smarter, but also happier - and this is exactly where our project comes in.

Strengthen health awareness

We want you to excel not only in exams, but also in your health. Learn all about a balanced diet and how to stay fit, enjoy healthy food and exercise without sacrificing fun.

Offering practical support

From fitness classes and nutritional counselling to stress management sessions - we offer you everything you need to get through your studies fit and happy.

The first steps

The state of health of students in Germany and abroad has already been diligently researched and analysed in books. But to really find out what our students here need, we are launching a major survey in the winter semester 2024/25. For eight weeks, your opinion counts! Whether at the main campus or at our satellite campuses - we want to hear from you!

Get fit and stay fit!

How to be fit’ is not just about being fit. It's about making small changes that make a big difference. Join us, sign up for our courses and workshops and become part of our health-conscious community. Together we will make studying not only successful, but also healthy and fun!

Restart

Der Restart Tag war ein erfolgreicher Auftakt ins neue Semester – wir freuen uns auf eine gemeinsame und gesunde Zeit auf dem Campus!

On Restart Day, the ceremonial start of the semester at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences, the entire university community warmly welcomed its students (back) to campus. This day not only marked the start of a new semester, but also provided an excellent opportunity to introduce students to the wide range of programmes offered by the university and the region.

Numerous information stands were set up in Building 50, where students could obtain helpful information. Both university institutions and interesting regional service providers presented themselves with exciting offers. There was a particular focus on the topic of health, for which the ‘Healthy Studying’ project organised its own stand together with the AOK. Here, students not only had the opportunity to find out about health services, but could also win great prizes on a wheel of fortune.

Another highlight of the Restart Day was the launch of the anonymous online survey, which was developed as part of the ‘Healthy Studying’ project. This survey is aimed exclusively at students at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences and aims to better understand the needs and wishes of students in the area of health promotion. The feedback collected is an important building block for making the health programme at the university even more targeted and student-friendly.

Of course, we also catered for everyone's physical well-being: regional snacks such as apples, pretzels and sweet treats were available for all visitors to chat and exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the Restart Day and encourage all students to take part in the survey. Your opinion is crucial to making Ansbach University of Applied Sciences an even healthier and more pleasant place to study and spend your free time.

The Restart Day was a successful start to the new semester - we look forward to a healthy time together on campus!
