Starting from the eighth grade, students can gain initial study experiences as part of the **Junior Studies program at the University of Rostock** and earn initial credits for different fields of study. In the tenth grade, our students complete an internship and can gain practical experience in various professional fields. In a written assignment, they have the opportunity to reflect on their experiences and inform their classmates in presentations about the challenges and opportunities of the internship. Starting from the eleventh grade, students have the opportunity, in addition to their classes, to choose from a wide range of study and career preparation project offerings, in order to make informed decisions for their future with our support. ## Focus: Teaching and Project Program In the subject “Career Orientation,” students take mandatory instructional modules on topics such as “Paths after Graduation,” “Paths to University,” “Current Job Market,” and “Creating Applications – Mastering Interviews and Selection Processes.” An additional project block focuses on the opportunities to study abroad or potentially work there in the future. Here, we offer a comprehensive program in collaboration with external consultants that helps students orient themselves, make decisions, and apply. Furthermore, the students have the opportunity to qualify particularly for a field of study through various workshops. Here, we regularly offer seminars in business administration, law, medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, or rhetoric.

On this day, we provide a platform for private and public universities to introduce themselves and their degree programs. In collaboration with the universities and experienced practitioners, Torgelow students gain detailed insights into the content of the key degree programs and the tasks and requirements of individual professions. In addition to the professional preparation, we focus on the personal development of our students. They receive support in the areas of presentation techniques, time and study management, as well as effective communication, and are specifically prepared for selection interviews at universities with the help of experts. ## Schloss Torgelow on the way As part of the study and career orientation, our students have the opportunity to be on the move. They visit job fairs and information days at universities and universities of applied sciences. Simon Ruppel, responsible for the area of study and career orientation, informs the students about current events through our digital message board. Due to our extensive network of parents and alumni, our students have the opportunity to easily gain insights into various professions and companies, allowing them to weigh their options for which career path to pursue after graduation. ![](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/messevortrag-klein.avif) *Internship Director Markus Klein at the trade fair lecture on career orientation* ![](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/berufs-und-studienberatung-schloss-torgelow.avif) *Career and Study Counseling* ![](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/simon-ruppel-lehmann.avif) Simon Ruppel HR Coordinator, Psychologist [+49 3991 624 230](tel:+493991624230) [+49 3991 624211](tel:+493991624211) [s.lehmann@schlosstorgelow.de](mailto:s.lehmann@schlosstorgelow.de) ## More Future: Role Models from Practice During the school year and as part of Career Day, we regularly invite “practitioners” to come to us. They explain their job profiles to the students, clarify what requirements are placed on them, and provide suggestions and tips. In the film series “Kirsten Meets,” we introduce former students of Schloss Torgelow in their current professional environment. The short road movies provide the students with many ideas. The alumni serve as “role models” to show which paths are available to future graduates after a successful completion. ![](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/kirsten-trifft-teaser.avif) ## The video series “Kirsten Meets” with former students … [![](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/sports-weekend-film.avif)](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/en/videos/sports-weekend) ## [Sports Weekend](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/en/videos/sports-weekend) [![](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/internat-schloss-torgelow-mint-film-1-320x180.avif)](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/en/videos/schloss-torgelow-boarding-school-stem-film) ## [Schloss Torgelow Boarding School | STEM-Film](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/en/videos/schloss-torgelow-boarding-school-stem-film) [![](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/kirsten-trifft-29.avif)](https://www.schlosstorgelow.de/en/videos/episode-29-kirsten-meets-julia-massow) ## [Episode 29: Kirsten meets…..

Through lectures, excursions, and mandatory internships, students gain insights into various professions. The orientation begins as early as grade 5 with a craft course and a typing course, proceeds through internships and trips, and culminates in grades 11 and 12 with specific preparation for the working world – through workshops, aptitude tests, application training, and information days. Yes. In grade 11, the mandatory subject of Career Orientation is taught. Here, students become acquainted with various study programs, attend information days about studies, and are specifically prepared for selection interviews. They gain practical insights into study and career paths, accompanied by external experts and modern teaching methods. In parallel, they participate in various personality workshops, aptitude tests, preparatory courses for specific study programs, or university visits throughout the 11th grade. The Career Orientation subject is organized according to a credit system. Students can largely determine the content themselves but must provide evidence of a certain number of credits by the end of the year. Students from Torgelow regularly participate in projects such as business@school (Boston Consulting Group), Jugend gründet, or Jugend forscht. These initiatives promote economic thinking, personal responsibility, and entrepreneurial action. Within the framework of these projects, the students develop business plans, conduct research, and become familiar with scientific work. Furthermore, the students in the 11th grade visit the University of Greifswald and attend regular lectures there. Starting from grade 8, motivated students can complete a junior study program at the University of Rostock. They attend actual lectures, earn their first university credits, and gain early insights into learning at university – an excellent preparation for future study decisions. Schloss Torgelow regularly hosts Career Days, where representatives from German and international universities and colleges present their study programs. Our students get to know many fields of study and receive valuable insights for their future. In addition, renowned personalities from business, science, and society – including numerous successful alumni – share their experiences through lectures and workshops.
