RCDS elects new board: Osnabrück University celebrates its history!

There was some exciting news at today's meeting of the Ring of Christian Democratic Students (RCDS) in Osnabrück. In addition to the election of a new board, the eventful history of the University of Osnabrück was looked back on. The newly elected chairman Uwe Hemens, supported by his deputy Dr. Peter Szczekalla and treasurer Matthias Hartke know that a lot is in flux in the university landscape.

Dr. e.h. Fritz Brickwedde took a look at the beginnings of the legal department, which was founded in 1980/81. He recalled that in the early days there were arguments and even physical threats that are now a thing of the past. This history contributes to the identity of the university, which can now look back on a large number of successful graduates.

Department of Law

The university's law department is one of the major pillars of academic education in Osnabrück. Around 1,700 students are enrolled here and can begin their law studies in a standard period of study of ten semesters. The in-demand fields of study include European and international private law as well as digital law. Interestingly, an admission restriction has been introduced for the First Law Examination course, with students being admitted through the university's own selection process. The Abitur average and grades in mathematics and German play a crucial role, as [iqb.de] reports.

Practical experience is also a priority for students: three four-week internships in different areas of law are mandatory. Anyone who chooses the demanding path of studying law must be prepared to fight their way through the multitude of written and oral exams. The good news? Over 70 percent of students achieve impressive results in the first state law examination.

A place for meeting and exchange

After the official program items, the university was visited under the direction of the RCDS. Unfortunately, many rooms remained closed during the exploration tour, with the exception of the cafeteria, where you could fortify yourself after work. The discussion about future events also brought a breath of fresh air into the meetings. Drinking coffee together, accompanied by delicious cakes, and a visit to the local Christmas market rounded off the event.

We can look forward to the next steps. The next news from the RCDS is not expected until next year, so it's time for a well-deserved break. The active political university group will continue to be an important discussion partner in the discussion about educational policy and student concerns. The University of Osnabrück, which was founded in 1974, not only enjoys an excellent reputation in the region, but also attracts students from all over Germany.

Osnabrück, the third largest city in Lower Saxony with around 165,000 inhabitants, offers its students a lively atmosphere and a variety of leisure activities. So it's no wonder that the university has a total of 13,487 students, more than 59 percent of whom are women. Networking and exchange within the university are promoted by numerous student initiatives such as Amnesty International or ELSA-Osnabrück.

NOZ reports that the coming months will be exciting for the students and the newly elected board, as both projects and exchange formats are in the pipeline.

The university is also committed to transparency in financial matters and attaches great importance to proper information management. In doing so, it is responding to the challenges of the competition for first-year students and highly qualified scientists, as can be read on [uni-osnabrueck.de].

Overall, the University of Osnabrück remains an important place for education and exchange, with both its eventful history and dynamic present. Because it doesn't end there yet; There's still a lot to do!
