(Virtual) workshops offered by the General Student Advisory Service
In addition to the open offers for prospective students (see www.uni-kassel.de /go/studieninteressierte), the General Student Advisory Service offers schools orientation and information events tailored to the school's framework conditions. The events can be held at the school, at the University of Kassel, or in compliance with DSGVO via the university's own Zoom meeting rooms. The services offered by the General Student Advisory Service are free of charge, independent and open-ended, i.e. we also provide information and advice on study options at other universities and alternatives to studying.
After upper secondary school, on the one hand the world is open to you, but on the other hand there are fears of making the wrong "vital" decision. Which possibilities basically exist, how they can be combined, how to get a place at university and how to plan the future in the long term is what this module is about.
Time: approx. 45 minutes
There are 20,538 degree programs across Germany. Who is supposed to keep track of them all? In this information unit, we cruise through the sea of degree programs and explore different study cultures. On the basis of selected study programs, we will explore technical terms such as credits & modules, distinguishing features such as research-oriented and application-oriented, and different requirement profiles. After this excursion, prospective students can embark on the journey to their dream degree program well prepared.
Time: approx. 60-90 minutes
School is not study - it requires a lot of self-responsibility for one's own educational process. Especially students with a migration background and/or from non-academic families often lack the traditional knowledge to be able to shape their studies. This module deals with opportunities and risks in studying and possible ways of dealing with them.
Time: approx. 45 minutes
University entrance qualification, admission restriction, aptitude test, NC, FHR and biometric passport photo? The university admissions process is riddled with technical terms and is usually the first bureaucratic challenge prospective students face in their lives. This module provides information about the admissions process.
Time: approx. 30 minutes
What does a historian actually do? How much does a business administrator earn? How do I become a psychotherapist? When choosing a course of study, prospective students like to orient themselves to job descriptions. However, most academic professions are rather unknown.
Time: 20-90 minutes
The education system is becoming more permeable. Those who did not have the interest, motivation or opportunity to pass the Abitur in Sek I or Sek II have various paths to study open to them. This module can be offered with different emphases for students of secondary level I or secondary level II.
Time: 30-90 minutes
The search for the right training or study program starts with your own self: Who am I, what can I do, what interests me? What values are important to me? The answers to these questions provide the compass with which to determine one's own position and goal.
Time: 90- 360 minutes
Dates:
February 7, 2023: Registration
April 6, 2023
July 7, 2023
9 a.m.-4 p.m. each time in attendance
Students at the University of Kassel provide information about their course of study. Prospective students can ask what expectations they had at the beginning of their studies, which ones have been fulfilled and what has turned out differently. Note: For this service, we rely on the voluntary cooperation of students. Successful placement requires a lead time and cannot be guaranteed.
Time. approx. 45 minutes

Teacher:in-service training
Students perceive career and study orientation as an existentially important question that requires a good answer. Orientation is not a one-time event, but a longer process that takes place in a difficult phase of life: adolescence.
The event will look at the phases of study and career orientation of adolescents against the background of developmental psychological challenges and reflect on the roles and opportunities that parents and teachers can have in this process.
- Date: 17.10.2022, 16:00 - 18:00 hrs.
- Registration deadline: 10.10.2022
- Location: online
- Lecturer: Oliver Claves (University of Kassel)
The advanced training is part of a series of events of the General Student Advisory Service, which can be taken individually. Further topics and dates are:
- 31.10.2022: Study orientation - from graduation to connection orientation (online)
- 30.01.2023: Study - Application and admission procedures at German universities (Online)
- 13.02.2023: Study Successfully - Degree Programs and Studying Today (Presence)
There are 40 training places available and the organizers reserve the right to cancel the training if there are less than six registrations after the registration deadline.
The sometimes lengthy process of orienting young adults to their studies takes place under the difficult conditions of adolescence. Orientation is made more difficult by the fact that in the previous educational biography the decision-making options were relatively limited and could in principle be reduced to the question of which school-leaving qualification is possible and to be pursued. After school, the far more complex question arises as to which of the numerous training programs or courses of study might follow. This is where good orientation skills are required.
In the course of the event, the predominant orientation of young people towards degrees with the associated opportunities and risks will be explained and a "connection orientation" will be presented as an alternative. Together we will discover the secrets of the academic job market and work out which competencies are necessary for a good study and career orientation as well as a successful career entry. Finally, we will explore how schools can help to promote these competencies and make them visible.

There is a wealth of information, experience reports and myths about the application and admissions process at German universities on the Internet and elsewhere. The latter sometimes lead to incorrect planning and disruptions in the educational process.
During the event, teachers can refresh their knowledge about admission requirements and application and admission procedures at German universities. One focus will be on selection procedures for admission-restricted courses of study and the new role of the Foundation for University Admission. Open questions can be asked and discussed during and after the lecture.

And after Bologna came Corona. The Bologna Process, which involved the conversion of degree programs to a modularized system and to bachelor's and master's degrees, is largely complete. The Corona pandemic has shaken up the universities and caused a digitalization push with new insights and, in some cases, lasting consequences. How has the study program changed as a result of this and what opportunities for shaping it still exist or are there as a result? The event will explore these questions against the backdrop of the factors that determine the success of studies. A large part of the event consists of a tour of the campus and visits to places of learning, academics and students who will give us insights into "studying today". With these experiences in their luggage, participants can prepare their students for the requirements and possibilities of studying - by the way, the General Student Advisory Service also offers similar tours for school groups on request.
