Gifted scholars of the advanced classes at the Gymnasium may attend courses at the University of Göttingen before even having qualified for university entrance and attain credits that may be counted towards a course of study later on.

They have the opportunity to deepen their specific interest in a subject beyond the possible realm of the Gymnasium, become familiar with working methods at the University and get a taste of the University atmosphere in a lecture hall, in work groups and in experimental labs.

In addition to the targeted fostering of individual interests and specific skills of gifted scholars, this programme aims to help with the early orientation and considerations when selecting a course of study after the Abitur. Increased motivation for the desired course of study as well as a shortened length of study are also goals of this programme.

If a sufficient number of places of study are available, interested scholars can attend regular courses in a subject that have been selected after individual counselling with a subject representative.
Attending courses, such as lectures, exercises, seminars or labs, include participation in the corresponding examinations (oral tests or papers). Certificates of performance will be issued by the lecturer of the course if the course has been successfully passed.

The contact person in the respective subject will be happy to assist you if you have any subject-related or organizational questions during the semester.
