The Christian Albrechts University of Kiel (CAU) is offering an exciting program called “Ask a student” in the 2025 summer semester. This initiative allows prospective students to immerse themselves in various study subjects from May 12 to June 19, 2025. They gain insights into everyday student life, can take part in courses and have conversations with lecturers.
The program is led by Annika Voß and Dr. Kathrin Ludwig coordinates and addresses students and interested parties who would like to check their choice of course of study.

Conditions of participation and recommendations
Participation in the program is aimed specifically at school students in Schleswig-Holstein as part of professional orientation. This initiative supports young people in making an informed choice of study. A decree from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture from October 2021 promotes this measure.
At the end of the program, participants receive confirmation of participation. Important note: Participants are not insured by the CAU during these events. It is therefore recommended to clarify the exemption from the school or voluntary service agency and obtain the signature of the parents or legal guardians.
For those interested in further study orientation offers, the Philipps University of Marburg is a valuable starting point. The program there also offers insights into course content as well as discussions with teachers and students to help participants choose their course of study. For detailed information about internships and study programs, interested parties can contact the University of Marburg directly uni-marburg.de highlights.
