Long Evening of Student Advice: Open, uncomplicated, personal - answers about studies

Are you about to finish school and still have no idea what you want to study?
Or do you have questions about applications, registration, financing or simply how everything actually works with studies?

Then the Long Evening of Student Advice is the right place for you! In cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Science (MKW), the Central Student Advice Centres of all NRW universities are inviting you to exchange ideas at the same time, including at The Hochschule Niederrhein, of course!

Following the positive re-registration of "Technology for Grandparents" in previous years, the series of events will also be advanced in 2026.
