What if you could try out different STEM Degree Courses at the same time to see which one is right for you? Through the game-based study orientation at mission:me, you get authentic insights and information about a field of study.
mission:me , the game-based study orientation program of THM , is offered and implemented at the THM campuses in Friedberg and Giessen . It allows high school students and prospective university students to discover, explore, and experience their post-secondary career path before making a decision, providing greater clarity and focus on their goals.

Finding the right course of study is easy with mission:me
Practical lab exercises, attending lectures, and talking to students in Degree Courses from the fields of engineering, computer science, and natural sciences – that's mission:me. In missions and additional tasks, the quests, you collect information and points, just like in a game. If you complete all the missions, you'll not only potentially break the high score but also find answers to your questions about choosing a course of study.

How does mission:me work?
If you have a spot on mission:me, you'll receive a selection of missions covering various topics within a degree program. Each day, you can choose one mission from the fields of engineering, computer science, and natural sciences, accompanied by current students. They will also act as mentors. You'll only discover which degree program is behind each mission as you progress. Once
you've completed a mission, quests such as library visits and interviews will help you get to know the THM better and gain firsthand insights from current students.
mission:me instead of an internship in a company
Your school can recognize your participation in mission:me as a work placement. The focus of mission:me is not on career orientation but on university guidance. Talk to your teachers about participation options.
Target audience
mission:me is aimed at all students from grade 11 onwards in academic and vocational high schools as well as technical colleges who are interested in studying in the fields of natural sciences, computer science and technology. Even if you have already obtained your university entrance qualification, you can participate in the programme.
Free participation
Participation is free and requires individual registration in the form of an application. In your application, clearly explain why you want to participate in mission:me and what interests you about STEM subjects. Address your application to Julius Jay Butler.
