How do I navigate the transition from college to a career—or vice versa? What is a reasonable starting salary, and how do salary negotiations work? Or how can practical training phases at a company be improved?

These are just a few of the questions addressed by our wide-ranging selection of seminars for (dual) students. Whether it’s practice-oriented additional qualifications, political seminars, or field trips—our educational program for (dual) students clearly summarizes all central and district-level offerings.

It offers students who are preparing for their future careers or who want to manage their studies even more effectively a whole range of seminars—all practice-oriented. This includes offerings on learning strategies and public speaking training, as well as the opportunity to participate in company tours or visit trade shows, such as the Hannover Messe, free of charge.

For anyone who wants to critically engage with the society in which they live, there is also a wide selection of political seminars. This creates opportunities for learning that go beyond the requirements of the study regulations and ECTS credits.
