As a student, you are responsible for yourself and your studies. You have to set your own goals and determine ways to achieve them. Studying poses particular challenges that often require you to develop new skills and behaviours compared to school or training (e.g. developing learning strategies, building up social networks, looking for your own flat, etc.). But don't worry, you don't have to go it alone. We offer counselling and support services for every phase of your studies.

Our campus is the ideal place to start your academic journey. Because our commitment does not end with the choice of the right degree programme. We provide support in all fields of study. In addition to providing information about accommodation near the campus and various funding options, we help you find the right path. In this way, our campus creates the best conditions for a successful degree programme and an enriching student life.

Our university sees itself as a place where every student is catered for. We place particular emphasis on individualised learning and offer a wide range of learning spaces and resources. Because different types of learners need different approaches. Here, everyone can discover and develop their own way of learning, be it in specialised learning centres, in our library, in the Centre for Language Teaching or in many other places and support options.

Stress comes in many guises: exams, illnesses, problems with fellow students, family or friends. Especially during your studies, many things can put a strain on your mind and body and prevent you from having a carefree study programme. But nobody has to deal with this stress alone! We have listed some of the services offered by Paderborn University that can provide you with help and support in difficult situations.

We actively encourage and accompany you in gaining valuable practical experience during your studies and support you on your way into the professional world. There are a variety of options, such as finding internships, exploring opportunities for part-time jobs during your studies, workshops, excursions and practical projects in the Career Service, preparing for a possible business start-up or planning the path to a doctorate.
