The benefits are manifold: on the one hand, you will learn more about the major topic of "health". By participating in the health-promoting measures and programmes, you will learn about individual health promotion strategies and how to apply them during your studies.

In addition to these individual support measures, you will receive one of the so-called health certificates at the end of your degree programme if you continue to use the health pass over the three years of your studies. If you have collected the specified number of stamps, you will receive the basic certificate, the advanced certificate and, after three successful years of study, the final certificate, depending on the duration of your participation. Thanks to the modular structure, you can join the programme at any time.
More health literacy is not possible!

This confirms the continuous engagement with the topics of "healthy study" and "healthy leadership". The certificates are an interesting addition to your application documents, for example.

Rediscovering university: Julian (23), Mechanical Engineering

A friend drew my attention to "my beneFIT". As I am active in university sports, it was nice to be able to have this module stamped directly. The choice of programmes is very large and extensive. Through "mein beneFIT", I was then made aware of other programmes at Paderborn University that I didn't know about before, e.g. courses on time management and application training, which will certainly prove helpful when looking for a job. Thanks to "my beneFIT", I have started to think more consciously about my health and not just see it as exercise or nutrition. I will of course continue with my sports courses, but I will always try something new and helpful from the other fields. I am also convinced that I will attract the interest of companies and make a positive impression with the certificate I have acquired in my application.

Finding motivation: Katharina (21), teacher training programme

At first I could hardly imagine what "mein beneFIT" meant for me, as my degree programme has nothing to do with health at all. I then simply took part in "mein beneFIT" campaign stands and received important tips on what my everyday life as a student demands of me. I didn't realise that at all. Over the years, I have taken part in workshops for assignments, stress management courses, an SPSS course and relaxation exercises - and collected points at the same time. Through "my beneFIT", I also decided to take a health course to strengthen my back. After the course, I was so motivated that I now have a lot more exercise in my everyday life and do fitness regularly. All in all, "my beneFIT" has helped me to successfully master my studies, both practically and theoretically.
