Welcome to the Kids’ University at Kempten University of Applied Sciences!

We warmly invite children to attend four university lectures each semester held especially for them. The topics cover a very broad spectrum – history, natural science, politics, law, mechanical engineering, to name just a few. The professors and lecturers carefully tailor their talks to suit this special audience to ensure that enquiring young minds can enjoy, get drawn in and fully understand the lectures.
Professor Arnulf Deinzer launched the Children’s University in 2005. Since then, some 6,000 children have had the chance to tackle all sorts of exciting questions in science and research in depth.

The winter semester 2025 begins on October 16, 2025 with four exciting lectures.

The lectures will be held in German. Further information can be found in the current flyer here.

Who can attend?

Any schoolchild aged eight to twelve years old who’s interested is warmly invited to come for a taste of the academic world of Kempten University of Applied Sciences and attend our Kids’ University lectures.

Where are the lectures held?

They’re all held in our biggest, state-of-the-art lecture theatre at Kempten University of Applied Sciences – the Thomas Dachser Auditorium, known for short as the “Audimax”. It can hold 350 children at a time and is entered via the foyer in Building V.

Is it like going to university for real?

Each child is issued a Children’s University student ID on their fist visit, which is then stamped before every lecture. Anyone who attends all four lectures in a semester even earns an authentic Kids’ University Completion Certificate at the last one.
There is currently no need to sign up for them. Children can also attend on a one-off basis. Admission is free of charge.
