Boys*Day - Discover the TU Dortmund University

Every year on the fourth Thursday in April, Boys*Day is held throughout Germany. On this day, boys can get to know professions and courses of study in which there are still too few men. Facilities, companies and institutions throughout Germany open their doors to give boys an insight into their everyday working lives. At TU Dortmund University, the humanities and cultural sciences departments will be presenting themselves.

Who can take part?
Students in grades 5 to 10 can take part in Boys*Day.

What happens on Boys*Day at TU Dortmund University?
On Boys*Day, scientists, employees, students or trainees will show you how they work and what you can learn. And you can get active yourself, take a close look at everything, try out lots of new things and ask questions.

How can you register?
You can register online for the TU Dortmund University program via the official Boys*Day portal. To find us on the Boys*Day radar, simply type "TU Dortmund University" into the search bar and click on "Find". We publish our program every year at the end of January/beginning of February. From then on, registration for Boys*Day at TU Dortmund University is also open.

What happens after registration?
After successful registration you will receive a confirmation email from us. Before Boys*Day you will also receive all information about the meeting point on campus and the course of the day by e-mail. It is therefore important that you enter a valid e-mail address when registering and check your e-mail regularly!

What do you need to arrange with the school?
You can be released from lessons to take part in Boys*Day. To do this, your parents must sign an application for time off school, which you must hand in to the school before Boys*Day. You can find the application form and further information about Boys*Day - also interesting for your parents - in the material center of the Competence Center.

The event lasts approx. six hours.
