From 3D printers and underwater sound transmission to the next-generation Internet and nanotechnology – the open day on 28 June provided a wide range of insights into studying at our faculty.

The concept of laboratory tours, short lectures and discussions with students worked. "The day was very helpful, now I have a picture of the university in mind. I particularly liked the fact that we could ask questions everywhere," says 17-year-old Tim from Heikendorf. Student Liv from Kiel, also 17, feels confirmed in her desire to study something technical. Her classmate Lilli, on the other hand, is still unsure. "I was at a talk about student financing and scholarships – that's definitely good to know, no matter what I'm studying."

"As teachers, we depend on such days. This is a worthwhile event here, very exciting. With the many courses of study today, we as teachers are dependent on universities making offers like these," says a teacher from Kiel, who came to the Faculty of Engineering with her chemistry profile class. "The timing just before the summer holidays suits us very well. With the many program information on the Internet, we were able to plan our visit well," says a physics teacher from Heikendorf.
