Get to know your future fellow students!
The optimal start of your studies
Preparation courses are offered for many degree programmes. Although participation is optional, it is strongly recommended. You will recieve basic knowledge of the programme, you will meet your fellow students and lecturers, and much more. There are preparation courses in mathematics open to all disciplines and preparation courses restricted to specific degree programmes. Find out in good time when and where these are held. If you are going to study more than one subject, go to the introductory sessions of your main subject. They often take place shortly before the semester begins.
Introductory sessions are held by lecturers and students of the faculties. They provide an overview of the organisation of the degree programme (including timetable/lecture plan), exam requirements, and much more.
This orientation and guidance is a big help to new students. You should take advantage of it!
Special Orientation days
International students are welcomed by the International Office with an additional Orientation day.
For students with disabilities or chronic conditions, it is possible to get to know the campus in advance during an individual Orientation day.
In the course overview you will find the preparation courses and introductory sessions of your study programme and further important dates for your study start. The course catalogue for the winter semester will be released on 01.09. and on 01.03. for the summer semester.
Please note the comment fields for further information in the individual events. For daily changes, please check the course overview regularly.
