What can you expect at the Bochum University Days?
Are you about to graduate from high school? Do you want to know exactly what the NC is, how an application works, or which degree program is right for you? Are you wondering whether a dual study program is right for you, whether a university or a university of applied sciences is a better fit—or are you looking for alternatives to studying? Then come to the Bochum University Days and ask us anything!
Compact information sessions will provide you with the necessary knowledge for your path to university – in an understandable way and on an equal footing. You can choose from the following topics, among others:
Course research
The NC myth
Financing your studies
Studying acting and directing in Bochum
Dual studies at the City of Bochum
Alternatives to studying
In addition, you can get individual advice at the exhibition stands of the six Bochum universities present or gain real insights into everyday student life by talking to students.
Take advantage of this opportunity to get to know six Bochum universities. In one day. In one place.
The following institutions will be there: EBZ Business School, Evangelische Hochschule Bochum, Folkwang University of the Arts, Bochum University of Applied Sciences, Ruhr University Bochum, Georg Agricola Technical University, Bochum Marketing GmbH, Chamber of Industry and Commerce for the Central Ruhr Area, City of Bochum.
