Orientation week

Orientation week 2021

The orientation week 2021 will take place in the week before lectures start, i.e. from 11.10. to 15.10. Due to the current situation the orientation week will take place in parts (possibly exclusively) online.

The orientation week has the following three objectives:

  1. We want to provide you with all the tools and information you need to make your entry into university as pleasant as possible.
  2. We offer you the opportunity to get to know not only your fellow students, but also fellow students from higher semesters, to make initial contacts and make friends. Due to Corona, this will not be as easy as usual.
  3. Last but not least, fun will also play a major role in the design, planning and implementation of the programme.

The orientation week is an unforgettable experience at the start of your studies. We look forward to welcoming you to the orientation week. Even though everything in the orientation week is voluntary, we strongly advise you to participate.
