Girls' educational program commences at the University of Bochum
Bochum University of Applied Sciences has announced the launch of a new mentoring program called the Girls' Academy. This initiative, set to begin in the autumn of 2025 and run until Easter 2026, is aimed at encouraging high school girls to pursue studies in Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, and Technology (MINT).
Located within Bochum University, the Girls' Academy will provide a supportive environment for participants, regardless of their family's educational background. The programme is designed to offer opportunities for learning technical skills and subject matter, as well as peer mentoring and individual guidance in study orientation.
The Girls' Academy will kick off with an introductory week during the fall break, from 13th to 17th October 2025. This week will include practical workshops, excursions, and discussions with MINT students and graduates, all aimed at demonstrating that studying in MINT fields is possible regardless of gender.
Monthly meetings are planned throughout the programme, offering participants a chance to connect and share experiences. The Girls' Academy also aims to strengthen the self-confidence of its students, as well as inspire them for technical-natural science degree programmes.
The Girls' Academy intends to play a significant role in increasing gender diversity in MINT fields, a crucial step towards achieving a more balanced representation in these industries. For more information about the Girls' Academy, please visit this link.
