Study orientation workshop

In our two-hour study orientation workshop, participants explore various questions to help them decide what and where to study. Working in small groups, schoolchildren and advisors at the University of Bonn get together to discuss possible orientation activities that can help them make comprehensive decisions about their studies. Aside from exchanging helpful information, the workshop also includes conversations that encourage participants to reflect on their own abilities, interests and aspirations.

Study orientation walk

Are you a secondary school student in your final years and wondering whether you would like to go to university or what to study? And, if so, what subjects the University of Bonn even teaches? And are you also keen to get an idea of what the University is like, ideally live and up close? Then we have something suitable for you, despite the restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic: on a fall walk from the University Main Building to the Poppelsdorf Campus, we will give you a brief “glimpse from the outside” into the University of Bonn and tell you about your study options and potential subjects in a series of short chats.

Learning Strategies and More

First-year students in particular often find that learning at school and learning at university are two very different matters. In your final years of high school, you were told what to learn and possibly experienced guided learning settings. Learning at university, by contrast, requires a high degree of independence and self-organization. The workshop introduces participants to different learning methods and helps them develop individual strategies for different situations of learning.

Yes, I can! My skills in the Bachelor of Arts/Master of Arts

What competences are you acquiring on your degree program, and what are your (uniquely) specialist skills as a humanities scholar? What other strings can you add to your bow alongside your studies? In this workshop, we want to empower you and focus on the mindset and skills that interdisciplinary studies in the humanities will give you. You will benefit from sharing ideas with fellow students and study advisors, produce your own content together and gain valuable input.

How to Find Options for Reorientation

Maybe you are looking for a new direction, e.g. because you want to change subject or university, drop your studies altogether or have some completely different plans? And maybe you are wondering how to go about it and where you can find information?

I will be talking about various places you can look online to learn about study and training options as well as career opportunities. I will show you how to find out what training or degree program matches your strengths and interests. We will also have some time to answer your questions on these issues.

Switching Subjects and Universities group session

Needless to say, you will also be able to ask and get answers to your own questions.

Doubts about Your Studies — How to Find out What Matches Your Goals

Over the course of their studies, most students at some point have doubts over whether they have chosen the right field of study. To find out about possible alternatives—or whether your current program of study is even still the right one for you—it is crucial to be aware of your own abilities, interests and values. In this workshop, participants explore their own competences, interests and values. Another goal is to engage with one’s own ideas about possible future careers.14
