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. In the summer semester 2021, the orientation weeks have taken place from 29 March 2021 to 11 April 2021.
The orientation weeks for the wintersemester 2021/22 will take place from 27 September to 17 October 2021. Please have a look at the programme of the summer semester orientation weeks to get a first impression on what to expect.
