Student Orientation Weeks

The University of Bonn is part of this state-wide program every year, offering a diverse range of services and events.

General Program
What can I study at the University of Bonn? How do I apply for admission and how can I finance my studies? Advisors of the University’s Central Study Advisory and Counseling Service will be available to answer these and many other questions.
In our two-hour “Academic Orientation” workshops, participants explore various questions to help them decide what and where to study. Working in small groups, students and counselors of the University of Bonn get together to discuss possible orientation activities that can help them make structured academic choices. This involves not only an exchange of information but also conversations that help students reflect on their own abilities, interests and preferences.
As part of the Student Orientation Weeks, the University of Bonn’s Central Study Advisory and Counseling Service (ZSB) offers open consultations especially for high school students interested in university studies. These one-on-one counseling sessions can cover everything you need to know about choosing a field of study, orientation opportunities, financing your studies, academic programs, application and enrollment, and many other topics.
Some degree programs offer taster lectures to give you a better idea of what your future program of study is all about.
