Student associations/university groups at UPB
Students at Paderborn University have the opportunity to form student associations. These associations, generally also referred to as university groups, contribute to the formation of political will in accordance with § 53 (3) of the NRW Higher Education Act. Contributions to the formation of political will can be made through parts of the group's work and/or orientation.
The prerequisites for founding a university group are
- the drawing up of a constitution, which can be closely based on the model constitution.
- A list of founding members including original signatures of the founders.
- a statement in the statutes of the way in which the political will is formed.
- Only registered students of UPB can be full members of a university group. Membership is not transferable. Membership rights can only be exercised personally.
The submitted constitution will be checked by the administration. If UPB has no objections to the foundation of the university group, the group will be recognised and is thus entitled to use UPB rooms free of charge for group events. UPB does not provide any further financial support for the university group.
Once a year, recognised university groups are requested to submit a feedback form on the current status of the university group between the end of the summer semester and 15 October. If this feedback is not received, recognition is suspended.
Student initiatives
In addition to founding a university group, it is also possible to found a student initiative. A student initiative differs from a university group in that it does not have to demonstrate political will. An initiative must participate in the fulfilment of the tasks of the student body and prepare an annual accountability report. Initiatives may receive financial support from the AStA. To found a student initiative, please contact the Presidium of the Student Parliament.

One looks in vain for an arthouse cinema in Paderborn. This is why the association Programmkino Lichtblick e.V., established by students of media studies in 2003, has made it its mission to give presence and validity to films excluded from commercial cinema. By using historical film prints, we also want to sensitise people to the specific materiality of the medium of film. Each semester, we create our own film series on topics such as water, big cities and sins. The films are usually presented on Tuesdays at 8:30 pm in a nationwide unique cooperation at Pollux by Cineplex Paderborn. Alongside your studies, you can try out a wide range of practical media activities in the fields of cultural mediation, cultural management and marketing, and at the same time get to know other students interested in film and make contacts in the film and cinema industry. You don't need any special film knowledge for this, interested people are always welcome!
You can get to know us without any obligation at our regular movie quiz or our weekly meetings. We look forward to meeting you!
We meet on Mondays from 1 to 2 pm in room E.2116 at the university.

Study
We support the new Wing students right at the beginning of their studies by organising and managing the orientation phase.

By building up the alumni network, it is also possible to get involved after graduation.
Contact with companies
We enable students to establish business contacts through company visits, workshops and our company contact fair "LOOK IN!

This is how we network the Wing'ler of Paderborn University with companies from the surrounding area.
Fun events
In addition to the serious topics of life, we make sure that students network with each other. This takes place, for example, during student trips, sporting events (water skiing, canoeing, etc.), brewery tours or parties of all kinds.

The voluntary association Eurobiz has existed at Paderborn University since 1989 and was founded at that time by returning Paderborn students who had missed help during their own semester abroad. So they decided to join forces and make life in Paderborn easier for upcoming exchange students and enable them to have a good time.
Today, students from all faculties are still involved with Eurobiz and organise a large number of events through which many personal contacts and friendships with exchange students are formed. Many of these friendships survive the time spent together in Paderborn.
If you are interested in making friends worldwide and having a lot of fun with international students, just come to our office and join Eurobiz! We meet every Tuesday during the lecture period at 7 p.m. in SP2 0 101. Or you can just drop by our weekly international get-together and enjoy a drink in an international environment. We look forward to seeing you!
You can also find news about us and our activities on our homepage, Facebook or Instagram. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments.

We are the newspaper of the students of Paderborn University and have been part of the "inventory" of Paderborn University for many years. We publish an issue every four weeks and report on campus life, university politics and all kinds of topics from politics, society and the environment. Anyone from any discipline can contribute in any field.
We are a mixed editorial team and have editors from media studies as well as from computer science. The areas of work are also varied: social media, editing and research, interviewing, but of course photography, layout and website building are also part of it.
The highlight for us is the annual AStA Summer Festival, where we take photos and meet the artists backstage for an interview.
In UNIVERSAL, students get an insight into journalistic work from the conception to the publication of our newspaper - this includes the search for topics, the planning of the issue, then the research and finally the layout.
You can read us online, but also in the refectory, where we display the newspaper several times a week. News and links to articles can be found on our Instagram account.

KurdS-PB was founded on 30 April 2008 and became an official university group at Paderborn University on 14 August 2009. The founders wanted to offer a central contact point for Kurdish students to exchange information about their studies and leisure time and to help shape university life culturally.
Since then, the university group has been growing and the activities have not only increased in frequency, but also in the quality of the contributions and information. These include information stands about the university group and International Weeks, which focus on Kurdish culture, history and language.
The university group was founded on 3 basic pillars, which are still essential components:
- Non-party political
- Interfaith
- Non-violent
Our goals:
- Communication of Kurdish culture & history
- Orientation and integration support for students
- Promotion of tolerance and acceptance between students at Paderborn University
Weekly meetings vary throughout the semester. To join the WhatsApp group, please contact us by email.
