Can I take part in the taster course if my school is not a partner school?
Yes, the taster course is also open to pupils from other schools. You can also register for the taster course at no cost to you.
What can I expect?
During the taster course, you will attend selected courses of a degree programme (lectures, seminars, advisory and introductory events) every day for a week, both in the morning and in the afternoon, and have the opportunity to come into contact with students and lecturers. The programme is individual for each degree programme. There is therefore no general timetable.

Insight into university life: Q&A with students & campus tour
As part of the taster course, LEO-Lernort cordially invites all interested pupils to an open Q&A session with students!
Student learning and writing advisors talk about their everyday life as students, give insights into studying, learning and life at the University of Kassel and answer your questions about studying:
- What is the transition from school to university like?
- How do you organize your studies?
- What makes student life in Kassel special?
Afterwards, there will be a short campus tour where you can get to know the university a little better.
