Paderborn University offers schoolchildren the opportunity to find out more about the university, its campus and course programs, with the chance to pursue their specific research interests in a number of projects and workshops and participate in a taster course at the university, for example. During the school holidays, the university offers holiday programs (so-called "Kinderferienfreizeiten") for schoolchildren to try their hand at research, crafts and experiments.

Further information and offers for pupils can be found on the website of the "Central Student Advisory Service" and on the website of "Frauen gestalten die Informationsgesellschaft".
