University Experience Days

Be a student for a week, get a taste of lectures on your chosen degree course, attend seminars and lectures and come into contact with lecturers and students. This is exactly what the University Experience Days at the University of Kassel offers!

The next taster course will take place from January 19-23, 2026.

What can you expect from the trial program?

  • You’ll spend a week attending selected courses from your chosen degree program. These include lectures, seminars, and orientation and introductory sessions.
  • This will give you the opportunity to find out what topics are covered in the program, how classes are structured, and whether the program aligns with your interests.
  • Each degree program has its own schedule. Therefore, there is no single schedule for all participants.
  • Important: Set aside the entire week for the trial program. You’re expected to attend all five days.

The introductory program is open to students from all schools. You can participate even if your school is not a partner school of the University of Kassel.
