Lower Saxony Technical Center 2024

Register now for the STEM career orientation program Niedersachsen-Technikum starting in September 2024!

For many schoolgirls, a very important phase in their lives is about to begin: The decision "What do I do after school?" is imminent.
There are numerous options and offers - and this is often precisely the problem. At the same time, career choices are still burdened with entrenched gender roles and the associated stereotypes. In 2019, the proportion of women among first-semester students in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) was still low at 34%.

In order to give young women interested in science and technology an insight into everyday working life and STEM studies, Clausthal University of Technology participates in the Niedersachsen-Technikum. This established state program offers schoolgirls orientation for the professional world. The program is open to all female (technical) high school graduates, regardless of their major, who are still undecided about their career decision or already want to gain insights. Students can carry out a project in a company four days a week for six months and get a taste of university life one day a week. This time can also be credited towards pre-study and compulsory industry internships for technical degree courses at Clausthal University of Technology. In addition, there is the opportunity to take examinations for the courses attended and to collect the first credit points. There is plenty of time to get an idea of what studying in Clausthal is like and to get to know the advantages of personal support from the teaching staff.

If you are interested, please register informally for the following online information events up to one day in advance by e-mail at niedersachsen-technikum@tu-clausthal.de:
