Orientation for the perfect start to your studies

You already have your Bachelor's degree and have now decided to deepen your knowledge in the Master's programme? We look forward to meeting you! Even if it's not your first degree programme, we want to make your start as pleasant as possible and provide you with some information about starting your studies.

The ori­ent­a­tion phase

Together with the student councils, we would like to provide you with the most important information about the organisation of your studies and student life at the beginning of your studies. We also want to give you the chance to get to know your future fellow students. The orientation phase will take place from 8  to 9 April 2026.

After a welcome and a general introduction to the study organisation and internationalisation options, there will be programme-specific meetings with your programme representative. In the subsequent programme of the student councils, you will have the opportunity to get to know your fellow students and find out details and background information about your chosen degree programme.

The information for the orientation week will be sent to your university email address a couple of days in advance. Please check your university email inbox!
