Information for pupils and secondary school teachers

You want to study something unique? But with a future and good professional prospects!

At the AMP Faculty, we offer undergraduate programmes that stand out, but also result in important contributions to society and provide excellent professional prospects for graduates.

In southern Germany, #Journalism of #Technology can only be studied with us at the Ohm.  Without question, technology, research, and innovation are increasingly important in society. But: it must all be explained, discussed, and considered. And all of that in different formats and channels, whether it be social media, podcasts, magazines, or videos. Our students learn all of this, so they can later work as journalists, press speakers, marketing managers, or influencers. But with the necessary skills in tech, research, bits, and bytes. So, “something with media” – but with relevance and tech.

Our Applied #Mathematics and #Physics undergraduate programme is also something special. At the Ohm, the focus is not on theory, but “applied” is exactly what we concentrate on: practical and direct application - in current technological areas. Modelling, simulation, optimisation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, quantum computers, renewable energy, medical engineering, lasers, industrial computer tomography, and photonics - you can learn about all of that and more in our programme. Graduates are fit for the jobs of the future in industry and research.

Our newest programme in #Data Science & #Communication uniquely links skills in data science and statistics with the know-how to integrate data into social, economic, and political contexts. It is called social data science, because the evaluation and processing of data not only requires skills in statistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, and mathematics, but also in economics and socio-political decision-making. And these data and their evaluation need to be visualised, arranged to be interactive, and communicated – that’s the communication part.

Still undecided, but interested?

You, or teachers with their classes or groups, can get a peek behind the curtain at various events and programmes. From trial lectures to projects specifically for student newspapers, collaboration in secondary school ‘Wissenschaftswochen’, or many other formats...

We offer

Events or programmes for mathematics / physics / journalism of technology / data science

Below are events and programmes that happen regularly or can be offered upon request for groups or school classes.

Trial lectures

Secondary school students can participate in regular lectures from our programmes in Applied Mathematics and Physics, Journalism of Technology, or Social Data Science & Communication. The times and dates are determined each semester with the course schedules: If you are interested, please send an email to: ingo.dienstbach(at)th-nuernberg.de.

Workshop: “MINT in Schülerzeitungen” (STEM in student newspapers)

This workshop is designed for editorial staff of student newspapers, blogs, radio stations, or podcasts or is suitable for secondary school “Projektwochen” or “Wissenschaftswochen”. More information is available online in German.
“Wissenschaftswoche” (Science weeks at secondary schools) The AMP Faculty is happy to support secondary schools in their “Wissenschaftswoche” in the areas of computer science, mathematics, physics, and technology or science journalism. More information is available online in German.
Information events We are also happy to provide information about the Applied Mathematics and Physics, Journalism of Technology, or Social Data Science & Communication degree programmes in a school visit or during orientation events or visits to our university. If you are interested, please send an email to: ingo.dienstbach(at)th-nuernberg.de.
“Studieninformationstage” at the Ohm

Our degree programmes are represented at the Ohm’s “Studieninfotage”, an orientation programme offered each semester, with lectures and tours of our laboratories and studios. Further information is available online in German.
