Guide for your students

The hit is an important building block in the study orientation process. It can be used individually - regardless of where the students are in this process, whether they don't yet know what they want to do after school or already have more concrete ideas.
In any case, good preparation for the hit is important in order to maximise the benefits of this day in line with their own interests and wishes.

We have set up a teachers' café for you. In a pleasant atmosphere with a breakfast buffet, coffee and tea, you have the opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues from other schools as well as employees of the Central Study and Career Counselling Centre (ZSKB) and the Didactic Centre (DiZ), make new contacts and find out about the offers of the University of Oldenburg for you and your students.
You are cordially invited to drop by the Intercultural Meeting Point (IKT) in building A12 between 8.30 and 11.30 am.
We look forward to your visit!
FAQ
Before your visit
How can my students prepare for the hit?
Good preparation and planning is important so that your students can get the most out of their visit to the hit and go home well informed.
For this reason, we recommend that you integrate the preparation for the hit into the lessons as part of the academic and career orientation programme (depending on your possibilities). In class, students can reflect on and discuss their own interests and strengths, ideas and wishes individually and/or in small groups in order to identify possible study paths.
The aim is for the students to develop a concrete plan as to which presentations / information stands they would like to visit at hit and to think about specific questions they would like to ask. The clearer the topics they are interested in, the more targeted the pupils can select suitable programme items and offers and receive answers to their questions. This can be done individually and in several ways, e.g. by creating a timetable with corresponding questions.
Programme (with sample timetables)
We have created a guide for you and your pupils to help you prepare for your visit to the hit:
Can pupils be released from school to attend the hit?
According to the decree of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs "Berufliche Orientierung an allgemein bildenden Schulen" (24-81403 - VORIS 22410) of 17 September 2018, the university information day is one of the possible school-based academic appointments in the context of cooperation with universities (section 4.4).

After your visit
What happens after the hit?
Attending the University Information Day is part of the process of orientation. Depending on where the pupils are in the process - whether they are still unsure whether studying is the right path for them or which degree programme suits them best, or whether they need more information to make their decision - it is advisable to take advantage of other additional offers from the university.
In a follow-up meeting with your school class, you can reflect on the visit to the hit with your students, clarify any unanswered questions and discuss possible next steps. The Central Student and Career Counselling Service (ZSKB) will be happy to support you and your students.
Inform your students about the various programmes offered by the University of Oldenburg.
The Central Student and Career Counselling Service provides advice on many questions regarding orientation and all aspects of studying. On the following page, your pupils will find all the information they need to arrange a counselling appointment:
