Why have a bonus booklet?
The aim of the Bonus Booklet is to highlight and provide a clear overview of social and student engagement. The introduction of the Bonus Booklet creates an incentive for greater engagement at the university during students’ time there.
What’s the point of that?
The Bonus Booklet encourages ongoing participation in university life across a wide range of areas. Students who have accumulated 12 points (8 points for Master’s students) by the end of their degree will receive a certificate recognising their outstanding student engagement.
This ensures that such commitment is recognised in the long term and acts as an additional advantage when applying for jobs.
Where can I get the bonus booklet?
You can collect the bonus booklet either
- from the International Centre in the H Building
- from the AStA in the G Building
- from Student Services in the M Building, Room 05
If you have any queries, please contact the relevant staff members on site.
