Just in time for the final exams in schools, the HSMW opened its doors for an Open Campus Day (Studieninformationstag) on 28 March. Around 550 visitors attended, including many Year 10 and Year 11 pupils, as well as those who had travelled from afar – for example, from Karlsruhe in the south and Bonn in the west of Germany. Unlike the Thursday event in January, the Saturday in spring is the ideal time for a family outing to explore the next generation’s career prospects.

HSMW showcased the various pathways to these futures – featuring a selection of more than 50 degree programmes – at the information stands in Studio B, as well as through talks, project presentations, and open-access laboratories and studios across the campus.

See you soon

The next Open Campus Day at HSMW is on Thursday, 14 January 2027.

There will be a Study Information Evening on 11 November 2026.

The Student Advisory Service is available (almost) at any time via a range of channels to answer personal questions about choosing a course and the application process.
