International Students' Orientation Weeks

International Students' Orientation Weeks

The orientation weeks for international students take place at the University of Passau before the beginning of each semester. The orientation weeks will help you to prepare for your studies but also – and perhaps even more importantly! – provide great opportunities to get to know Passau and your fellow students. Events happen partly online, partly on campus to get everyone on board, whether you are already in Germany or still waiting for your trip.

The orientation weeks for the winter semester 2025/26 will take place from 29 September to 12 October 2025. Please register here.

To help you prepare for your arrival, you will find documents under Downloads on key topics such as accommodation, administrative matters, integration, career, and study organization in English.

If you have any questions that are not answered on the websites below,, feel free to mail to exchangestudents@uni-passau.de  or istudicoach@uni-passau.de (as a degree-seeking student).
