International Students' Orientation Weeks
Welcome to the University of Passau!
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 2024-25 will take place from 30 September to 13 October 2024. Please register here.
To participate in the webinar "Study Organisation for international degree-seeking students" on 24 September, please, fill the short form.
We are currently updating the detailed programme and are going to share it with everyone registered and publish it here below in the upcoming days. If you have questions meanwhile, feel free to mail to exchangestudents@uni-passau.de or istudicoach@uni-passau.de (as a degree-seeking student).
