Faculty Student Council and Student Group
for Business Information Systems
The Faculty Student Council for
Business Information Systems (FSC
BIS) represents the interests of BIS students.
Not only do we make it an easier
experience for students to start their
degree, we also assist them throughout
their time at Paderborn with any problems
they may have. Our orientation
phase serves to introduce new students
to everyday campus life, help them to
find their way around the unfamiliar
environment and acquaint them with
the formalities and general circumstances
of student life. In small groups
newcomers make new friends straight
away – and during the interactive city
challenge and the FSC party they establish
contacts that will later prove valuable
in their study groups, amongst
other things.
The Faculty Student Council also helps
to maintain and improve the quality
of teaching in Business Information
Studies. One major instrument to verify
and monitor the quality of teaching
is the student evaluation system, which
gives students the opportunity to identify
any organizational and conceptual
short comings in the lectures and seminars.
A broad range of information on all areas
of the degree program is available to
students via our homepage and our
mailing lists. Our activities also help to
enhance student life at Pader born outside
the academic field. One highlight
for all BIS and non-BIS students is our
annual BIS Summer Festival, which
includes a beach volleyball tournament
with many attractive prizes. The
professors also get involved – much
to the students’ delight, they serve
the drinks during the party.
At least once every year the FSC organizes
a study trip to an interesting location.
For instance, in the 2010/11 winter
term a group headed to Augsburg, where
they took a guided tour of helicopter
manufacturer Eurocopter and visited
the memorial site at the former Dachau
concentration camp.

‘executive’ body of the FSC BIS. Often

care of the concerns of the students on
the BIS degree course. Together with
HG-WING e. V., the Industrial Engineer -
ing and Management student group,
HG-WINFO is a partner in LOOK IN!
GbR, an enterprise founded to organize
the careers fair of the same name.
LOOK IN! is the University of Pader -
born’s careers fair that is aimed at students
and companies alike. Each year
several well-known companies from
the region attend the fair to introduce
themselves as potential employers.
Students can talk with company representatives
and negotiate internships or
jobs, for instance. Photographs from
the last fair in the autumn of 2011 are
available at www.lookin-messe.de.
