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 summer semester 2026 will take place from 30 March to 12 April 2026. 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).
We are offering a series of online webinars starting in March (in English), covering the following topics to help you get started with studying and living at the University of Passau:
The links to the Zoom meetings will be published two hours in advance.
Please register for the webinars.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Please note that the data from the calender of events as well as the AEGEE events may be subject to short-term changes. You can check whether your document is still up to date by looking at the "as of" date of the document (e.g., event calendar in the top right corner).
The listed documents show the events of the winter semester 2025/26 and provide a general orientation. The events for the summer semester 2026 will be published 1 - 2 weeks prior.
