Pupils and prospective students can experience Paderborn University live on Thursday, 15 January 2026, from 8 am to 2 pm: With the "Campus Day", the university is offering interested parties a diverse programme where visitors can get a taste of degree programmes, talk to students and take part in real courses. Whether it's sports economics, mechanical engineering, popular music and media, computer science or a teaching degree programme - with over 100 courses on offer from all faculties, there is a wide range of lectures, internships, lab tours and information stands. Prior registration is not necessary. Pupils who would like to take part in the Campus Day can be exempted from school.
"The Campus Day is ideal for anyone who is thinking about going to university or simply wants to gain an authentic impression of everyday life at a university. It's the perfect time to think about your own professional future, especially just before the half-year results," says Cinderella Welz from the Central Student Advisory Service (ZSB). To make the most of the visit, she recommends: "Visitors should use our Campus Day app in advance to find out about the programme and create a personal list of favourites. That way, they can get started right on site on 15 January."
In addition to attending regular courses, the foyer of the Paderborn University will offer advice on Paderborn's degree programmes, study conditions, admission requirements and career prospects. Students from the departments will also be available as contacts - with personal insights into their everyday lives, challenges and successes. The Department of Educational Support (BAf?G) of the Studierendenwerk advises on questions regarding student financing. For prospective students with a health impairment, disability or chronic illness, there will be information on individual support and accessibility at the university. Another highlight: tours of the campus, where visitors can get to know modern laboratories, large lecture theatres, the library, student workspaces and sports facilities. This gives visitors a comprehensive picture of the infrastructure and lively campus life in Paderborn.
Further information, access to the app and the full programme can be found on the event website.
