Girls' Day / Boys' Day at THA

Did you know:

Gender stereotypes—that is, how women and men are supposedly supposed to be—still influence the career choices of many young women and men! Despite many opportunities, most students choose careers and college majors where there are already many women or men.

Important: Your career choice should be based on your interests and strengths—not on stereotypes.

Girls’ Day and Boys’ Day are nationwide events held every year.

They’re your chance to explore careers without preconceptions.

Girls' Day

You can discover exciting technical careers that you may not yet be familiar with. As a student in grades 7 through 9, you can gain new perspectives with us and explore careers and degree programs that, in many cases, are still dominated by men.

Detailed information about Girls’ Day opportunities throughout Germany, as well as opportunities for other age groups, can be found on the official website

www.girls-day.de.

There, you can also find out about the events offered by the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg—just search for “Augsburg” or even “Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg” and register right away! Spots are limited!

Boys’ Day

Learn about degree programs and careers, for example, in languages, business, or the social sciences. Discover new possibilities—free from typical stereotypes.

Did you know that we also have a campus in Nördlingen where we host a Girls' Day?

Program:

Would you like to actively shape the world with AI and technology—and maybe become an engineer one day?

We’ll introduce you to the exciting world of systems engineering. You’ll get to explore the Nördlingen campus, including the robotics hall, and have the chance to try out many of the things that are part of the bachelor’s engineering program. Specifically, we’ll work together on a 3D printing project.

We’ll have a great time there, with plenty of space and time for your personal questions. No prior knowledge is required—just curiosity and a love of DIY.

Nördlingen Campus:

Where: Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg, Nördlingen Campus, Emil-Eigner Straße 1, 86720 Nördlingen

Date: April 23, 2026, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

We look forward to collaborating with teachers in the region and are happy to assist you in planning your individual Girls' Day and Boys' Day events.

Please feel free to share your ideas with us! Here are some possible options:

• If you’d like to bring your school class to visit us, we can reserve seats for you accordingly.
