Orientations
In the week before classes begin, the International Office holds various orientation programmes that provide you with important information for your stay and for the organization of your class schedule. You should definitely attend these meetings! In addition, the schools also hold orientations and organize events to introduce you to the student life in Mannheim (for example pub tours). These events are also a great opportunity to meet German students. A detailed programme of the Welcome Week will be given out following your arrival at the International Office. In order to take part in all of the events offered, we strongly recommend you to come to Mannheim at least a week before the lectures start!
