Orientation Weeks
Get the most out of your start at university!
- How do I put together my timetable?
- Who are my coursemates?
- What pitfalls do I need to watch out for when organising my studies?
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!
