On May 17, 2023, Pforzheim University opens its doors and cordially invites the entire family to the campus!

Get a taste of university life from 4 to 7 p.m. and gain an insight into the entire university world. In Holzgartenstraße we will show design to try out, offer several workshops, guide you through our studios and inform you about our study programs. All in all: a fine design program for young and old and the whole family. 

Meet on Campus takes place at the School of Design, Holzgartenstraße 36, as well as at the Schools of Engineering and Business and Law, Tiefenbronner Straße 65/66. A bus shuttle will run between our locations. 

The Design PF exhibitions and workshops will all take place on the first floor in the auditorium Holzgartenstr. 36 and next door. A bar and snacks will be available in our courtyard in good weather - in the foyer in bad weather.
