Information for Freshies
Welcome first semesters! The first week at the university will be the orientation week (O-week). You can find the program and additional information here on our Website under Events.
Please keep in mind that the program is currently in progress, so please look at our side regularly.
If you have questions, the category Information and FAQ is worth a visit. Or ask us from the students council, during the O-week we are available for questions every day besides Friday from 9 am to 18 pm in the o-week office (W2 1-143) (Friday only until 1 pm). In the O-week 2023 the O-week lounge will also take place online in BigBlueButton. Here is the link:

Maths pre-course
For the winter semester 2023/24, a preliminary course will be organized in presence (Disclaimer: The course will be held in German!). In this course you will not only learn the basics of mathematics but also get to know your first new fellow students! In order to get all of the necessary information, please register as soon as possible. All information about the pre-course can be found here:
As an alternative to the pre-course, there is an online maths course (OMB+). Disclaimer: This site is in German! This course is recommended by the department of physics, so every student has (nearly) the same knowledge of maths before the start of the semester.
In the department of maths, there will be also a maths pre-course this year. Please note that this course will be held in German as well!
Orientation week
The orientation-week (O-week) is your first week at university. There is also an international orientation-week one week before that. There will be no regular lectures or seminars, but lots of events, which will show you, how to orient yourself in the university. We also help you with your schedule for your courses or we show you, how to use the campusmangement-system Stud.IP. You can also get to know other students in the first semester. There are central events from the university and there are events from us, the student council of physics. For further information please look at the German O-week website.
