HiWi

„HiWi” is another word for student assistants.

Students who are employed for a few hours per week at an institute or in administration. Tasks can be quite different and range from media support during lectures, the preparation of tutorials and placements, to lab work, work in libraries and photocopying documents. These jobs are preferable to those in industry because students do not lose sight of their studies and gain a deeper insight into academic life.
