At the University of Trier there is a very lively student campus life. Which study groups can I try? Where can I get involved, meet people and pursue my hobbies? Which student councils are there, and where can I contact my own?

SWING UNIT
The Big Band of Trier University was founded in 2007 and has been under the direction of Bernhard Nink since 2014. Our standard performances are at the Jazzfest am Dom and the Trier Old Town Festival. As the name suggests, our musical focus is on the interpretation of swing and New Orleans jazz titles in traditional and modern arrangements. The majority of the big band is made up of university students, but it is of course also open to all other musicians who like to play collectively, but also enjoy playing individually and improvising. With us, the joy of making music together takes precedence over obsessive ambition and pressure to perform, and we are happy to welcome anyone who is interested. Just come along to the rehearsal without obligation!
