Workshop for vocationally qualified people - available digitally

Many paths lead to university, so it doesn't always have to be the "classic" route via the (technical) Abitur. Under certain conditions, you can also start a degree course with a vocational qualification. The digital workshop at Fachhochschule Dortmund helps with initial orientation and decision-making.

Next workshop

As the path to studying can be more complicated for professionally qualified students, we would like to use the digitally available workshop to provide answers to the most common questions that professionally qualified students ask themselves. We also focus on their personal decision-making process with the arguments for or against studying as well as their fears and challenges.

Video workshop for prospective students

The workshop consists of five videos, which can be accessed individually. The experience report by student Maximilian Kleist rounds off the workshop.

6. student experience report

I come from a traditional working-class family. For me personally, it was already clear during my school years that I would complete a vocational training course and then work in the profession. That's why I could hardly imagine going to university at first. But my curiosity quickly changed my mind. It has always been important to me not only to know that something works, but also to understand how and why it works. This is precisely my main motivation behind studying.

This is how Maximilian Kleist describes his decision to study as a so-called vocationally qualified student without a (technical) Abitur.
