Laptops for Students

The rectorate has provided special funds to support students with digital teaching in order to provide them with laptops if necessary. This is to ensure that students who do not have their own PCs can also participate in the digital courses. After a successful needs assessment by the AStA, these laptops can be borrowed for one semester only.

The laptops are equipped with Windows 10 and other software required for digital teaching.
The following softwares are available on borrowed laptops:

  • MS-Office 365
  • Firefox and Chrome
  • Acrobat Reader
  • (VPN-Client)
  • Citavi und Endnote
  • and ZOOM

Additional softwares can be used through Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). The VMware Horizon Client required for this has already been preinstalled on the laptop by us.
