Student associations/university groups at UPB
Students at Paderborn University have the opportunity to form student associations. These associations, generally also referred to as university groups, contribute to the formation of political will in accordance with § 53 (3) of the NRW Higher Education Act. Contributions to the formation of political will can be made through parts of the group's work and/or orientation.
The prerequisites for founding a university group are
- the drawing up of a constitution, which can be closely based on the model constitution.
- A list of founding members including original signatures of the founders.
- a statement in the statutes of the way in which the political will is formed.
- Only registered students of UPB can be full members of a university group. Membership is not transferable. Membership rights can only be exercised personally.
The submitted constitution will be checked by the administration. If UPB has no objections to the foundation of the university group, the group will be recognised and is thus entitled to use UPB rooms free of charge for group events. UPB does not provide any further financial support for the university group.
Once a year, recognised university groups are requested to submit a feedback form on the current status of the university group between the end of the summer semester and 15 October. If this feedback is not received, recognition is suspended.
Student initiatives
In addition to founding a university group, it is also possible to found a student initiative. A student initiative differs from a university group in that it does not have to demonstrate political will. An initiative must participate in the fulfilment of the tasks of the student body and prepare an annual accountability report. Initiatives may receive financial support from the AStA. To found a student initiative, please contact the Presidium of the Student Parliament.

One looks in vain for an arthouse cinema in Paderborn. This is why the association Programmkino Lichtblick e.V., established by students of media studies in 2003, has made it its mission to give presence and validity to films excluded from commercial cinema. By using historical film prints, we also want to sensitise people to the specific materiality of the medium of film. Each semester, we create our own film series on topics such as water, big cities and sins. The films are usually presented on Tuesdays at 8:30 pm in a nationwide unique cooperation at Pollux by Cineplex Paderborn. Alongside your studies, you can try out a wide range of practical media activities in the fields of cultural mediation, cultural management and marketing, and at the same time get to know other students interested in film and make contacts in the film and cinema industry. You don't need any special film knowledge for this, interested people are always welcome!
You can get to know us without any obligation at our regular movie quiz or our weekly meetings. We look forward to meeting you!
We meet on Mondays from 1 to 2 pm in room E.2116 at the university.

...is a student interest group for the Industrial Engineering and Management degree programme. The HG-Wing (Wing university group) was founded as early as 1987 and has since been working to combine studies, business and fun events in the interests of the students.
Study
We support the new Wing students right at the beginning of their studies by organising and managing the orientation phase. During this time, some uncertainties are clarified, but if new questions arise, we are there to help and advise. By building up the alumni network, it is also possible to get involved after graduation.
Contact with companies
We enable students to establish business contacts through company visits, workshops and our company contact fair "LOOK IN! We also have a job exchange where job advertisements and contacts for various internships and job offers are passed on in relation to the degree programme. This is how we network the Wing'ler of Paderborn University with companies from the surrounding area.
Fun events
In addition to the serious topics of life, we make sure that students network with each other. This takes place, for example, during student trips, sporting events (water skiing, canoeing, etc.), brewery tours or parties of all kinds.
HG-Wing as part of ESTIEM.
ESTIEM (European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management) unites students from Wing in Europe. In 26 European countries, 78 university groups are involved, creating a network for students, organisations and companies that is unique in Europe. ESTIEM offers professional and personal development through the organisation of various events.

We are the SMD Paderborn and belong to a Germany-wide network of Christian university groups. Our group is meant to be a meeting place for students who believe in Jesus as well as for all those who have not yet come into closer contact with faith and want to learn more about it.
In addition to sharing and fellowship, the focus is also on the discussion of academic topics as well as the Bible itself. We usually meet on Tuesdays for different events, you can find more about this and our group in general on Instagram @smd_paderborn.
Feel free to come and visit us, we look forward to it!
The voluntary association Eurobiz has existed at Paderborn University since 1989 and was founded at that time by returning Paderborn students who had missed help during their own semester abroad. So they decided to join forces and make life in Paderborn easier for upcoming exchange students and enable them to have a good time.
Today, students from all faculties are still involved with Eurobiz and organise a large number of events through which many personal contacts and friendships with exchange students are formed. Many of these friendships survive the time spent together in Paderborn.
If you are interested in making friends worldwide and having a lot of fun with international students, just come to our office and join Eurobiz! We meet every Tuesday during the lecture period at 7 p.m. in SP2 0 101. Or you can just drop by our weekly international get-together and enjoy a drink in an international environment. We look forward to seeing you!
You can also find news about us and our activities on our homepage, Facebook or Instagram. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments.
