The orientation week, taking place from 15 to 19 September 2025, offers a diverse programme designed to provide you with information, guidance, and opportunities for networking – ensuring a successful start to the Winter Semester 2025/2026.
 

Please note: Most master's-, online- and part-time degree programmes start on different dates. You can find more detailed information in the drop-down menu ‘additional welcome and orientation sessions’.

In addition to the general orientation week programme, several degree programmes offer separate welcome and introductory sessions. An overview can be found below:
