The“Kurswechsel ” project was a new initiative offering advice and support to university dropouts with experiences of displacement and migration. Its aim was to create a personalised, digital support programme to enable a self-determined and sustainable start to a career in Germany.

PLAR BCBQ
The PLAR BCBQ project aimed to further optimise the structures and counselling and support processes for non-traditional students established in the predecessor project “PLARnet” by networking internal and external partners. In addition, the aim was to make access to advice and support for the target group – regarding university admission, choice of degree programme and the recognition of prior learning – more flexible and to expand these services even further through the use of digital tools and measures. This was intended to enable information and advice to be obtained independently of time and place, even outside consultation hours.

The aim of the portfolios is to present one’s own educational history in a structured manner and to highlight skills already acquired.
