Your support is important to give your child security and guidance. Here's how you can help:

• Organise the process together: Plan the steps that lead to choosing a degree programme together.
• Reflect on interests and goals: Talk about personal interests, strengths and possible career goals.
• Recognise strengths and weaknesses: Give feedback on skills and challenges.
• Gather information: Provide support when researching degree programmes and careers.

Paderborn University is actively committed to supporting young people who are motivated to achieve. We support students on their path through life while they are still at school and long before they decide on a vocational or academic programme.

We help them to recognise their own strengths and potential, develop personal visions, promote individual skills, discover career opportunities and turn dreams into reality.
