Important information for first-year students in the winter semester 2020/2021
Welcome!
We look forward to welcoming you soon at the University of Bayreuth to start your first semester
According to the current situation, the basic lectures for first-year students, e.g. Experimental Physics A1 (Mechanics), will be able to take place as usual as classroom teaching in the university lecture halls. The hygiene concepts of the University of Bayreuth will also take into account the protection of all participants in this format.
We will also keep you informed of further developments on this website.
Mandatory use of masks - extended obligation to use masks
Everywhere and at all times – inside AND outside – compulsory mask-wearing at the University of Bayreuth
On the premises of the University of Bayreuth and its branch offices, it is compulsory for everyone to wear a face mask. This regulation enters into effect on 5 November 2020. Excluded are persons occupying a room alone, or who for medical reasons cannot wear a face mask. This is to be certified by a medical certificate, which must be carried with you at all times.
This means that masks are compulsory indoors and outdoors, at all times and everywhere; for members of the University and for external persons, applying equally to pedestrians, cyclists, and other people engaged in sport on campus (e.g. jogging), whether in groups or alone. The obligation to wear a mask also applies while occupying a fixed seat, even when social distancing can be maintained.
This shall apply as long as, according to the findings of the RKI or the LGL, the number of new infections exceeds 35 per 100,000 inhabitants in Bayreuth within 7 days, or was exceeded less than 6 days ago. Decisive here will be the announcement of the administrative districts and district-free cities on the website of the State Ministry of Health and Care at www.stmgp.bayern.de.

Contact data collection
Everybody has to participate in the collection of contact data. It's a prerequisite for participation in all face-to-face meetings.
On-site collection is required in the following cases:
- When using the library (in addition to booking in advance) in reading rooms and at workplaces.
- When using seminar rooms, lecture halls, PC pools, meeting rooms, sports rooms (for courses in addition to booking in advance)
- When visiting the cafeterias when using tables. In addition, when paying with the CampusCard in the catering establishments, attendance is recorded anonymously using the card number of the CampusCard..
On-site presence is recorded uniformly across the campus via UniNow:
QR-CODE CHECK-IN/OUT with UniNow
The UniNow system offers the following possibilities for data acquisition:
- Registration via the campus app "UniNow" of the University of Bayreuth
- Recording without an app using a QR code scanner in the browser of the smartphone.
- Recording via laptop in the browser using a specific URL given in the room.
Please install - if possible - this app on your smartphone in order to facilitate contact data entry on the entire campus of the University of Bayreuth.
The first time you log in, you must enter the data to be recorded. The "check-in" into a room or at a workplace is carried out independently and on one's own responsibility when entering the room. The "Check-Out" is either carried out by independently checking out when leaving the room or is carried out automatically the next time you check in.
Official Corona Warning AppWarn-App
All members of the university are additionally recommended to use the Corona-Warn-App of the Robert Koch Institute for their stay on the university campus.

There you will find, among other things, the constantly updated current version of the "Handbook for Handling the Corona Pandemic at the University of Bayreuth, the so-called "Corona Handbook".
Introductory mathematics course from 26 October
October 26-31, an introductory course in mathematics will be offered for first-year physics students, including teacher candidates. The course deals with the mathematical basics of the basic lectures in experimental physics including the practical courses. The aim of this course is to adjust the previous knowledge to a uniform level in order to facilitate the start of studies.
This course is not mandatory. However, it is strongly recommended that you attend the course (especially for those who feel unsure about mathematics).
The course includes lectures in the morning, from 8.30 to 12.00 am, and exercises
in the afternoon, 1pm to 4pm. A registration is not necessary.
Further information on the introductory mathematics course can be found here.
