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.
