Performance-motivated pupils

Paderborn University is consciously committed to promoting the talents of young people. We accompany students on their life's journey while they are still at school and for some time before they decide on a vocational or academic education. We support them in recognising their own strengths and potential, developing personal visions, developing individual skills, exploring career opportunities and realising dreams.

 

Studying before the Abitur
