University of Bochum initiates new all-girls educational institution
Bochum University of Applied Sciences has announced the launch of a new initiative, the Girls' Academy, aimed at inspiring and supporting high school girls pursuing studies in Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, and Technology (MINT) fields.
The Girls' Academy, scheduled to commence on October 13th, 2025, during the fall break, will run for a week and conclude during the Easter break in 2026. The introductory week will feature practical workshops, excursions, and discussions with MINT students and graduates, providing participants with a hands-on learning experience. The closing week will offer a wrap-up of the programme and an opportunity for participants to reflect on their learning journey.
Monthly meetings are planned as part of the Girls' Academy, offering continuous support and guidance throughout the academic year. The programme will also provide (peer) mentoring and individual guidance in study orientation, helping students navigate their academic path with confidence.
The aim of the Girls' Academy is not just to convey knowledge but also to strengthen the self-confidence of the students. It seeks to show young women that a degree in MINT fields is possible regardless of their gender or family background in education. The initiative aims to inspire young women to pursue technical and natural science degree programs, breaking down barriers and encouraging diversity in these fields.
The Girls' Academy offers exclusive insights into student and professional life, providing participants with a glimpse into the world of MINT studies and careers. More information about the programme can be found on the provided link.
At this time, the name of the person leading the Girls' Academy at the Bochum University of Applied Sciences has not been disclosed.
The Girls' Academy is designed to support high school girls as they embark on their journey towards a MINT degree, offering a unique opportunity for personal and academic growth. It is an exciting step towards fostering a more diverse and inclusive environment in the MINT fields.
