Thinking about tomorrow now: the application phase for the 2026 summer semester at Paderborn University is now open. In addition to the traditional start in the winter semester, many Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes can also be started in the summer, opening up exciting prospects. From chemistry, computer science and sustainable engineering to linguistics and economics, Paderborn University's degree programmes are as diverse as they are individual. Prospective teachers will find a wide range of subject combinations for all types of schools. Those interested can get an initial overview on the website meineupb.de. There, current students provide insights into their respective degree programmes, campus life and living in Paderborn.
Various programmes from A to Z
Although fewer degree programmes start in the summer semester than in the winter semester, there is still plenty of choice. The international profiles of many degree programmes also ensure that graduates have career opportunities worldwide. "For many young people, the start of the application phase marks the beginning of a new phase in their lives. We want to give them the best possible support in realising their professional and personal potential. Our future-oriented degree programmes offer the best conditions for this," says Prof. Dr. Beate Flath, Vice-President for Teaching, Studies and Quality Management at Paderborn University. Choosing the right degree programme and the application process can be challenging. The Central Student Advisory Service (ZSB) therefore supports all prospective students with information and personal counselling. From 12 January to 9 February, for example, the nationwide "Study Orientation Weeks" will take place. As part of this, the ZSB is organising the Campus Day on Thursday, 15 January from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., where prospective students can find out about the study options at Paderborn University and get an impression of everyday study life on site.
