Study orientation - from school to university studies
Study? Yes, of course! But what subjects are available and which of them are suitable for me? Do I want practice-oriented or rather research-based studies?
Kiel University of Applied Sciences (FH Kiel) and the Dual University of Applied Sciences (DHSH) offer a strong practical orientation. The universities of applied sciences work closely with regional companies. A dual degree programme combines theory at the university with vocational training or practical phases at a company.
In the degree programmes at Kiel University (CAU), theory and fundamental research are in the foreground. In order to qualify for a degree programme at the Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design, you have to apply with samples of your artistic work.
In addition to traditional advisory services, orientation offers alternatives such as workshops for decision-making, study info days, self-assessment tests or an exchange with students.
