The advisory literature aimed at students that my PhD-research centers on encompasses various (both moral and practical) recurring themes: 'studying with purpose' being one of these. The necessity of choosing the right courses and following them in the right order was stressed time and again. In order to get insight into how students from the 18th- and early 19th-centuries planned their studies, the cameral sciences – an inherently interdisciplinary and emerging field that resists easy definition – are a particularly useful case. Emphatically taking the perspective of students (in this case students at the university in Halle) and using published study plans and archival materials from the university archive, I ask questions of representation, curriculum and planning, as well as question how disciplines could and should be defined: Did and could a student see themselves as a cameralism student and/or future cameralist? What would they have understood this to mean? How did they know which courses to choose? Were recommended courses actually available, and were they chosen? Which courses were associated with the cameral sciences, and which ones were followed by aspiring cameralists?
