What is FocusTime and who is it for?

FocusTime is an open writing and study group aimed at

• international (PhD) students and academic staff at Paderborn University,
• Exchange students from partner universities,
• German learners at Paderborn University.

During FocusTime, you work focussed and in a quiet environment on your own projects, texts and/or (language) learning tasks. If you want to,

• exchange ideas with others,
• get tips on writing and learning methods and try them out,
• or use the individual consultation.

Special: Every two weeks, we provide a short input on various topics related to studying, learning, and academic work. Your topic suggestions are always welcome.
