BEST Seminars (BErufs- und STudienwahl) (Career and Academic Orientation)

What is BEST?
Which fields of study and which professions are best for me? How can I orient myself in the face of the enormous range of degree programs and find pertinent information about them? How can I make a good decision?

These are the questions dealt with in the BEST Seminars offered by the Central Academic Advising Office in cooperation with local secondary schools.
The two-day orientation und decision-making workshops give you the chance to think hard about your individual abilities, interests, and goals together with other prospective students and to find the best fields of study and professions for you.
