The Faculty of Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science wants to enable interested school pupils of various age groups to get to know scientific practice better while they are still at school. Our institutes offer various programs and events<\/strong> throughout the year, such as guided tours on specific research topics and student competitions. On our taster days<\/strong>, participants can get a taste of university life for a day: they attend lectures, learn about study opportunities, and students talk about their program of study. Pupils who are already certain that they want to pursue a program of study can register for a pre-university program <\/strong>at JGU and start studying while they are still in school. The faculty also has an exclusive offer for teachers <\/strong>who want to continue educating themselves in specific subject-related or interdisciplinary areas. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
