Information events

hobit

hobit – University and careers information events in Darmstadt – is the largest education fair in southern Hesse. For over 20 years, it has been giving school students the opportunity to get to know the Technical University, the two universities and companies in the region.

hobit is available in two formats:

In January, the hobit talks, with around 100 online talks on all aspects of informing, orienting, deciding, training and studying.
In May, hobit contact offers many opportunities to ask questions and gather impressions on site. At the five hobit organizer locations, you can get answers to your questions so that you can start the last year of school well informed or enter the application process for a course of study or vocational training with confidence.

In addition to the hobit, we offer even more events for career orientation, which take place online and live on site in Darmstadt. On hobit.de, we will keep you up to date on which event is coming up next!
