Learning centres

People in the library of Paderborn University.

The learning centres offer Paderborn University students support in their learning, especially with subject-related questions. However, the learning centres are also available for the acquisition of interdisciplinary skills such as academic work and self-organisation.

In addition, the LehramtsNavi and the Career Service's event and workshop programme offer various opportunities to acquire interdisciplinary skills.
Students from all subject areas can also take advantage of the learning counselling offered by the Central Student Advisory Service and receive advice on topics such as problems with procrastination, increasing motivation and difficulties, exam preparation and worries.
