The "Studying as a school student" programme enables pupils to take part in regular teaching at Paderborn University before they graduate in order to get a taste of a study programme and quench their thirst for knowledge. A digital information event for interested pupils, parents and teachers will take place on Wednesday, 17 June at 5 pm. Registration is not required.

The programme allows pupils to immerse themselves in scientific topics at an early age and explore how a degree course works. Achievements acquired as part of the programme can be credited towards a later degree course and do not have to be completed again.

Participants can be motivated pupils, mainly from year 9 onwards, who would like to study a scientific field beyond the school curriculum. The prerequisite is the consent of the school, as the missed school material must be caught up on independently during the weekly learning units at the university. A supporting programme helps participants find their way around the campus and network with other participating students. The next round for the winter semester 2026/27 will start in October 2026 and registrations are still possible until 21 September 2026.

Registration for the information event is not required. Further information and the Zoom link can be found on the programme page.
