Studienqualitätsmittel (SQM)
As a replacement for the tuition fees that were abolished in the 2014/2015 winter semester, the state pays universities study quality funds (SQM), which may only be used to improve the quality of teaching and study conditions.
The Faculty of Physics uses these funds primarily to reduce the size of exercise groups and to improve equipment.
Funds
To simplify the process, the Faculty of Physics has set up various funds to make funds for improving study conditions available quickly and easily:-
Student assistants
Do you require a teaching assistant to reduce the size of your tutorial groups or to support your course?
-
Books
A particular textbook would be ideal for a course, but it cannot be found or is not available in sufficient numbers at the BBP?
-
Excursion
Great idea for an excursion, but still need funding? (max. 250 € per student)
-
Promotion of mobility for professional exchange
Would you like to attend a conference, for example, but don't have the financial means to do so? (max. 250€ per student)
-
Support for final theses
Are you supervising a thesis and need financial support to purchase experimental equipment or consumables, or would you like to send students to a conference or measurement campaign as part of their thesis (max. 500 € per student)?
-
Support for courses
Would you like to publish lab course guidelines or lecture notes, or do you require technical support for a specific course?
-
Facilities
Is the technology in an SR or HS outdated? Do you need a new projector or similar equipment? Do you have a new idea for an Lab course experiment (except for Master's adv. lab)?
-
Update advanced masters lab
New idea for an experimental setup in the advanced masters lab or for revamping an old experiment?
-
Expansion of the curriculum
Would you like to expand the range of courses on offer?
Individual application
If none of the funds are suitable for the planned measure, individual applications are required:
-
Decentrally funded measures
The faculty can decide on these measures directly.
-
Centrally funded measures
If students from other faculties also benefit from the measure, it can be financed centrally by the university. The decision on this will also be made there.
