Orientation Events

The orientation events of the university are not only helpful for finding your way around the campus. They also are a good opportunity to get to know new people.

Did you miss an orientation event?

If you’ve missed an orientation event, you can use the video and sound recordings, if applicable. During the first weeks, many contact persons also offer special consultation hours and you can also contact your Program Manager and your Departmental Student Committee.

The lecture period in the spring semester starts on 4 September 2023.

Most of the orientation events take place in the weeks before. Even if you are not yet enrolled, you can participate in the events for first-year students.
