Study in Paderborn
We offer a unique learning environment in which knowledge, creativity and personal development take centre stage. We are committed to diversity, equal opportunities and interdisciplinarity. Here, students are not only part of a university community, but also shape their own educational path.
Get to know fields of study
Studying at Paderborn University is as individual as our students themselves. We offer a wide range of modern degree programmes. Our degree programmes are interdisciplinary and allow students to explore a wide range of perspectives and set their own specialisations. There are numerous opportunities to combine subject areas according to your own ideas. This gives students the freedom to organise their studies in a way that best suits their individual needs and interests.
Study decision made easy
Choosing the right degree programme is not easy. That's why we attach great importance to providing support. Our checklist explains the four steps to choosing a degree programme and our various orientation offers provide a direct insight into studying and the atmosphere at our university. In addition, our expectation checks help you to compare your own expectations with the reality of your chosen degree programme.

Leistungsmotivierte Jugendliche fördern
Die Universität Paderborn engagiert sich aktiv für die Förderung leistungsmotivierter junger Menschen. Bereits während der Schulzeit und lange, bevor die Entscheidung für eine berufliche oder akademische Ausbildung getroffen wird, begleiten wir Schüler*innen auf ihrem Lebensweg.
Wir unterstützen dabei, eigene Stärken und Potenziale zu erkennen, persönliche Visionen zu entwickeln, individuelle Kompetenzen zu fördern, berufliche Chancen zu entdecken und Träume Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen.
Study without A-levels
At Paderborn University, we offer many opportunities to start a degree programme. In addition to the general higher education entrance qualification, prospective students can also enrol in degree programmes with a vocational qualification or the entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences, taking into account the admission requirements. Prospective students who have obtained their higher education entrance qualification abroad and would like to study with us are also very welcome. If none of these requirements are met, there is the option of attending individual courses as a guest student.
Continuing your studies after completing your Bachelor's degree
Regardless of whether you have obtained your Bachelor's degree at Paderborn University or at another university, Paderborn University offers you a wide range of Master's degree programmes. Students who have obtained their Bachelor's degree abroad can also take up a Master's programme with us.
