University orientation workshops

The General Student Advisory Service offers various workshop formats to help students find their way around university life. These workshops focus on different topics.

‘Find Your Match!’ workshop series

What interests me and what am I good at? Which degree programme might suit me? Why do we often find it hard to make decisions, and how can I make an informed choice about my degree programme? How do the application and enrolment processes actually work?

Our workshops, under the motto "Find Your Match!", explore these and other questions. They are designed to support those who already know they would like to study, but are still unsure about which subject to choose.

The workshops are free of charge! A certificate of attendance can be issued afterwards. The course will be held in German.

In three separate modules, we’ll be looking at the following topics:

‘The first step towards finding the right degree programme’: You’ll explore how to get to know your interests and skills better. What exactly are skills, and what are your own strengths? In just under 180 minutes, you’ll gain a much better understanding of yourselves and thus take the first step towards finding the right degree programme.

‘Making an informed decision about your degree’: you will explore the topic of decision-making. How do you make decisions, and what role do your gut feeling and logic play in this? How can I set my own decision-making criteria and make use of decision-making tools? Who can support me?

“Gaining a better understanding of higher education and studying”: you’ll explore everything from applications and enrolment right through to student life at a university. Topics such as funding your studies and accommodation will be covered.

Don’t want to come on your own? No problem! Your friends are also very welcome. Through discussions and group work, you’ll gain valuable insights to help you make your own individual decisions about which course to choose.

Unfortunately, individual degree programmes cannot be presented within this framework!

Suitable for pupils from Year 10 onwards and anyone who has recently graduated or is about to do so. You’ll need a mobile device with internet access.
