Try Out Studying

Cognitive Science sounds interesting? Give it a try!
Registration open now!

Next Schnupperwoche: June 2nd - 6th/7th, 2025

The CogSci "Schnupperwoche" (study taster experience) is meant for everybody who considers studying Cognitive Science in Osnabrück; specifically

• High school graduates, Abiturienten and students in their last year of high school / abitur
• Students of other disciplines who consider changing to Cognitive Science
• Students of related disciplines who are interested in pursing a Master's degree in Cognitive Science

The "Schnupperwoche" is organised by the student body and mentoring team and offers a relaxed atmosphere to get to know the university, lectures, research topics, lecturers, fellow students and the city of Osnabrück. After three days, you will be able to make an informed decision about whether or not Cognitive Science is the right thing for you.

Participation is free of charge. To minimise your costs, other Cognitive Science students offer to accommodate you; spots wil be given out in order of registration.

What is on the schedule?

We start on the first day (Monday) at 10:00 am with an informal welcome meeting and short info talk at the Schlosscampus. Here you will get to know the organisers and possibly your hosts. If you are travelling from further away, we recommend that you arrive on Sunday.

On the following days, you will have the opportunity to attend lectures and get to know the university and the city of Osnabrück. We also organise a social programme, which may include joint visits to the canteen, a city rally or evening events.

For students interested in the Master's programme, we put together a personal programme of seminars and lectures according to individual interests.

Flexibility:

If you can't attend the whole week, that's no problem. You can also only be there on individual days, join later or leave earlier. However, if you miss the start on Monday at 10:00 am, please let the mentoring team (see below) know.

Alumni conference (6 - 7 June)

The alumni conference will take place after the study taster week. Here you have the chance to get even more input on Cognitive Science and exchange ideas with former students.

You can find more information about the alumni conference here.

Highlights:

• Presentations and exciting discussions with alumni
• Panel discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of a doctorate
• Pizza feast on Saturday evening! (If you are planning to be there on Saturday evening, please register here for the alumni conference. If you are not planning to attend the Pizzafeast, you are still welcome to register, but are not required to do so).

You can register here now! Registration is open up to and including 25/05/25.
