Our Buddy team is comprised of current student volunteers from a wide range of Engineering postgraduate coursework and research programmes and cultural backgrounds. They know what it was like to be new to postgraduate study, they have learned useful tips and experience, and they want to share it with the new students to help them find their way easier.
Cultural differences between you and your buddy are inevitable. Remember to treat these differences with respect. If these kinds of differences are leading to negative interactions with your buddy and you are uncomfortable continuing in the program, please contact Chris Reid to discuss other options.
In your first few days here, your buddy will help you to familiarise yourself with life at the ZHAW and in Switzerland. Your buddy can help you to open a bank account, explain the ticketing system on public transport, and introduce you to life at the ZHAW. You can also contact your buddy at a later stage if you have any questions or problems. Buddies do not, however, carry out administrative duties, such as arranging accommodation or issuing a residence permit.
Depending on their nationality, people who wish to study at the ZHAW must fulfill different conditions. If they intend to work, they need a work permit. All foreign students are required to register with the Residents' Registration Office within 14 days of their arrival.
Please note that a standard Schengen visa is not sufficient for foreign students to begin studying at the ZHAW. Students from EU / EFTA countries need a valid passport or identity card in order to enter Switzerland. Students from Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom are exempted from the visa requirement. However, upon arrival in Switzerland, they must apply for a residence permit and submit the same documentation as students who are subject to the visa obligation. Students from all other countries (third countries) need an entry permit ("Einreisebewilligung") as well as a visa. You should apply for an entry permit at the Swiss Embassy in your home country. If your application is approved by the authorities in Switzerland, you can then apply for a visa at the embassy. You will need various documents for your application (including confirmation of enrolment at the ZHAW). Ask for a checklist from the person in charge at the ZHAW School you have applied to. All documents must be originals and submitted together with translations into German; translations must be authenticated by a notary. In some cases, documents in English are accepted. You can grant authorisation to a designated person at the ZHAW to act in your name, so that we can deal with the paperwork for you.
Rund and Kate feel like they are true buddies, not just language buddies. Rund had to move overseas to Jordan during COVID-19 and the buddy program allowed her to stay connected to Aussie life during her PhD at UTS. Kate had to move to Cairns from Sydney due to COVID-19 and this program has been one of the main reasons she's been able to maintain contact with Arabic speakers while not in Sydney. The platform UTS provided allowed Kate and Rund to find a buddy who was a good fit - both are interested in learning and practising each others' languages and also have other things in common, including their engineering-focused PhDs. The platform was perfect for COVID because it enabled virtual meetings. Rund and Kate have been buddies for a year even though they have never been able to meet in person.
- Charlotte: "I signed up to the buddy program in June and within a few weeks matched with my buddy Thao. Thao is Vietnamese and it has been so nice to learn about a different culture. I have enjoyed having someone to talk to during lockdown, and learn about how things work differently in different countries. We both discussed how we aren't big into small talk and instead have talked about all sorts of interesting things. I have also enjoyed hearing about her PHD. We were able to provide each other academic tips too; as Thao had some great software for literature review notes and referencing, and I'm a keen public speaker which is an area Thao is apprehensive about. Overall the meetings have been a great way to spend my Sundays and we didn't even realise it had been more than 6 sessions! We are continuing to meet and hope to have a coffee on campus when restrictions ease further. I have thoroughly enjoyed the program."
Christina: "Throughout the sessions with my buddy this semester, my favourite aspect is that our conversations were around literally any topic that we wanted to discuss. There were days where we would start the session by checking on our studies, then diving straight into serious issues such as life advice or even sharing our go-to skincare products! The fact that we were from different geographical and cultural backgrounds made it so much easier for us to start thinking like global citizens. It allowed us to put ourselves into the shoes of anyone from the other side of the world and still made us feel like humanity is indeed the best religion. Connecting with people from all around the world was very critical for me, personally, since I could also raise awareness about the current political situation of my country. It also gave me a chance to advocate for others experiencing detrimental mental health issues caused by the lockdown/stay-home protocols, especially studying online. All in all, I find this HELPS buddies program to be a safe platform where you can find like-minded peers and openly talk about everything - from school to your hobbies - while there are also opportunities even to learn a new language!"
Ashley: "I really liked meeting with Philipp each week. At a time when COVID has limited students' ability to interact with the world, the buddy program made the world feel a little smaller and allowed us to get international exposure without even having to leave home! Each week I got an insight into life in Germany and have been able to learn all about the cultural differences that make our countries unique. We have really enjoyed laughing about our shared experiences and chatting about our hobbies and future aspirations. The thing that I have liked the most of all about this program is that I now have a new friend in Germany who I am sure that I can stay connected to in the future."
All new international students at UiA are allocated a buddy group. We recommend that you get involved right from the start to get to know your fellow students, campus, and the city. The buddies are experienced UiA students who organise social events and do their best to ensure you have a good semester start at UiA. Your buddy will contact you before semester start to provide you with further information.
In October 1935, the Foundry ruins were purchased by Elizabeth Bollee, Contesse J. de Vautibault and artist Julien Binford. Binford was born in Powhatan County on Christmas Day, 1908. At the age of 15, he moved with his family to Atlanta, where he was later encouraged to pursue a medical profession at Emory University. As a student, he developed a fascination with the graphics and drawings within the medical texts and decided to learn to paint. With a varied response from his parents, Binford set out to study art. After failed attempts to study oversees, he returned to Atlanta where Ronald McKinney, the Director of the Atlanta High Museum, encouraged him to try the Art Institute of Chicago. There he excelled, and received the Edward L. Ryerson Traveling Fellowship. The $2500 award presented to him in 1932, allowed Binford to study in Paris for three years.
Many students often jump right into reading their textbooks with no idea how extensive the topic coverage is or how long it takes to finish a chapter. Start by browsing the outline first and use it as your study guide so you can better manage your time to make sure all topics are covered.
Now that you have read and study your law school subjects, time to test the waters. One of the most effective ways is to practice answering essay questions, preferably those previously asked in the bar exams. This will gauge your depth of knowledge about certain topics. When you understand what you read, it should be easy for you to answer the questions. Otherwise, you might need to spend more time to fully understand the topic until such time that you can discuss it with ease, and be able to answer the questions with confidence.
They always knew they wanted to study medicine but Stephen, the older brother, needed to take a few years to pursue his other passion: professional hockey. After stints with hockey leagues in the U.S. and Canada, including a National Hockey League training camp, he was ready to pursue his medical education at the same time that his younger brother was also applying. They were pleased to find out they would be in the same class in the same school.
Four years later, Richardson extended her study of Republican policy into the postwar period with The Death of Reconstruction (2001).[12] Unlike other historians, she focused her analysis of the period on the "Northern abandonment of Reconstruction". Building on the earlier work of C. Vann Woodward, she argued that a more complete understanding of the period required appreciation of class, not only race. As Reconstruction continued into the 1870s and especially the 1880s, Republicans began to view African Americans in the South more from a class perspective and less from the perspective of race that had driven their earlier humanitarianism. In the midst of the labor struggles of the Gilded Age, Republicans came to compare "the demands of the ex-slaves for land, social services, and civil rights" to the demands of white laborers in the North. This ideological shift was the key to Republican abandonment of Reconstruction, as they chose the protection of their economic and business interests over their desire for racial equality.
Heather Cox Richardson's skill with connecting events into a cohesive narrative is on full display in this brilliant study....she dismantles the concept of equality guaranteed in the Constitution, connects western ideology with that of the Old South, and demonstrates how oligarchs and those who supported them established restrictions within society to retain their power.[20]
