Hochschülerin

A Hochschülerin is a female student enrolled in a higher education institution in German-speaking countries. The term is the feminine form of Hochschüler, which translates to university student or student of higher education. This encompasses students at universities (Universitäten), universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulen), and other tertiary education establishments. A Hochschülerin is typically pursuing a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree. The period of study involves attending lectures, seminars, and practical courses, as well as conducting independent research and preparing for examinations. Successful completion of a program leads to a recognized academic degree. The term emphasizes the academic context and the level of study, distinguishing it from students in vocational training or secondary education. The responsibilities and experiences of a Hochschülerin are largely defined by the specific program of study, the chosen institution, and the academic discipline.
