Try out the humanities: University of Kassel invites school pupils

Studying humanities and cultural studies? Why not? The University of Kassel organizes a so-called school preparatory course called ProUni to give interested pupils in grades 9 to 13 the opportunity to get to know the diversity of philological subjects, their subject areas and working methods.

Anyone can speak, think and believe anyway - what else is there to study? Quite a lot. 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 therefore 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.

The individual sessions offer insights into current research topics in the respective fields as well as into studies 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.

 

What is a preparatory course?

A propaedeutic course is a preliminary course to the actual course of study in which fundamental basic knowledge is taught. The word comes from the ancient Greek and means "to teach in advance". Although the ProUni preparatory course offers initial insights into various academic disciplines, it is not yet part of a later degree course. A certificate of attendance is issued for regular attendance.
