You'll get the answers by attending the Orientation Week (a.k.a. 'O-Woche' in German), which takes place before regular teaching commences. Organised by the student committees, this induction to university life will help you get started at university!
In the webinar "Essentials for Study Organisation" on Thursday, 26 March 2026 at 2 p.m. CEST, the iStudi Coach will answer your questions about starting your studies in the summer semester 2026. The webinar will take place online via Zoom. (You will assemble your timetable during the orientation weeks.)
The iStudi Coach also offers three additional pre-arrival webinars on Housing, Bureaucracy and Study Life.
Are you starting your studies at the University of Passau in the summer semester 2026?
Register here for all four webinars.
(You can also take part in the same webinar "Study Organisation" in German language.)
The Faculty's orientation week will place from 7 April 2026.
In March, the student councils will provide information on the programme and offers of the orientation week.
In addition to the Orientation Week for all students, the International Office also holds international orientation weeks specifically for international students coming to Passau.
Dates: 30 March - 12 April 2026
We recommend that international students also take part in the orientation weeks organised by the faculty in which they are studying. The programme is coordinated with the International Office.
If you have any questions about the O-Woche, you can ask the student committees or contact the Academic Advice Service of the University of Passau.
