School preparatory course of the Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies
Winter semester 2024/25

Welcome and introduction:Prof. Dr. Lea Schäfer / Introduction to religious education:Prof. Dr. Petra Freudenberger-Lötz (Dean FB 02)

ProUni offers pupils in grades 9 to 13 concrete insights into the various philological subjects of the Department of Humanities and Cultural Studies at the University of Kassel. During taster sessions, those interested can get to know the diversity of philological subjects, subject areas and their working methods.
The individual sessions offer insights into current research topics in the respective areas as well as study and career prospects. Each session focuses on specific areas of application of various humanities and cultural studies methods, which the students can try out for themselves.
Anyone can speak, think and believe anyway - what else is there to study? The humanities, which include disciplines such as philosophy, history, theology, literature, media studies and linguistics, play a central role in understanding human culture and society. Strengthening them is essential to promote critical thinking, cultural awareness and ethical reflection. Through interdisciplinary approaches and practice-oriented research, the humanities contribute to solving current social challenges. The promotion and strengthening of the humanities is therefore a decisive contribution to the holistic development of an enlightened and sustainable society.
