There you will learn how your studies are organized, we will show you the locations where you will have classes, and you will get to know your fellow students.

A two-week orientation period follows from 15.09.25 until 26.09.25: The Language Center will introduce itself, you will take a language test, and we will support you with bridging courses so that you are as well prepared as possible for your first semester. Very important: You will take your first steps on our eLearning platform LEA, which will be a constant companion of your studies.
Important mandatory dates during the orientation weeks are the safety instructions and laboratory introductions, without having taken part you will not be allowed into our laboratories later on.

What still needs to be done before you start your studies?

Detailed planning for the first two weeks of the semester is in full swing and will be communicated to you successively via the LEA course "First Semester Information_Introduction and Orientation Weeks". You will also find the schedule of events/lessons for the upcoming winter semester there for download in due course.
The LEA-course will be updated and extended continuously, so make sure to check it regularly.

How to get to the LEA course and which important steps you have to take first, we have prepared a small checklist.

We wish you a successful start to your studies!
