FAQ for students

An amended version of the university’s Basic Hygiene Plan has been in effect since 14 October 2022.

Wearing a Mask and Maintaining Distance:

The general recommendation is that everyone wear a mask and maintain distance between one another. Masks must be worn whenever 1.5 metre-distancing cannot be maintained. Under this rule, either medical masks (surgical masks) or FFP2 masks must be worn. 

All infection protection measures at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar are based on the 7th Basic Hygiene Plan.

For help during difficult life situations, contact the Thuringian Psychosocial Counselling Services (in German and English).

All students at Thuringian universities who need support or to talk to a neutral party about any issues they might be experiencing have free access to the Studierendenwerk Thüringen Psychosocial Counselling Services. Those seeking counselling - individuals and couples - are encouraged to contact the Counselling Services, both with study-related problems or personal issues. Counselling is also available in English upon request.
