Taster lectures during the Easter holidays

April 8th and April 9th, 2026

Are you in grades 9–12 and want to start thinking about your future studies early on? During the Easter break, our Business School is opening its lecture halls for two days and inviting you to attend Taster lectures. The Bachelor's programs in Business Administration and Business Law, as well as the interdisciplinary departments of Business Administration, Economics, Law, and Quantitative Methods, will open their lectures to you.

Take advantage of this opportunity to test out your future studies — live in the lecture hall, together with students and professors.

 

 

General information

  • Registration is not required.
  • The events will take place on campus.
    The address: Tiefenbronner Str. 65, 75175 Pforzheim 

The event is aimed at all school pupils, apprentices and young professionals who:

  • want to start thinking about their choice of degree early on.
  • want to find out whether a practical degree in Business Administration or Business Law at a University of Applied Sciences is right for them.
  • would like to try out studying before applying.
  • are looking for practical insights instead of just brochures.
  • want to talk to current students.

Especially during the phase of choosing a degree programme, it can be very helpful to experience lectures live and ask questions directly.

You can easily reach the Business School of Pforzheim University by bus or car.

Bus number 5 in the direction of Hochschule/Tierpark stops directly at the university.

If you are arriving by car, you can park in the large student parking lot at Tiefenbronner Straße 65 or in the parking areas at Wildpark Pforzheim (parking fee applies), which are located directly above the university.

In the entrance area of the W1 building, there will be an information desk on both taster days from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. There you can, among other things, receive our bachelor’s brochure about the study programmes and ask general questions.

 

The cafeteria and Mensa will offer drinks, snacks and a variety of lunch options on both days. Payment is cash only, as card payment is not possible for technical reasons.
