Student councils
The student councils represent the interests of the students to the lecturers in the first instance and are usually also responsible for organising the orientation week, during which first-year students receive a great deal of information and gain their first experience of the university.
Student initiatives
Initiatives offer you a good opportunity to network with other students alongside your studies and work together on a project. You will deepen your knowledge of topics such as digitalisation, sustainability, marketing and intercultural coexistence. Through the project work, you also develop soft skills that are in demand on the labour market. The Student Parliament has compiled a complete overview of all initiatives at Paderborn University. We have put together a small selection of initiatives that relate to the topics of our degree programmes below.
