The department organises orientation days in the first two weeks of each academic year. In two blocks, basic information and skills for the study of Ancient History are taught, which are a prerequisite for the courses. Further information can be found on Stud.IP.

Dear fellow students,

You expect respect and good service from us. We expect commitment and respect from you. This includes that we all keep to form. In the department, we only answer emails that meet certain standards of correspondence. This includes a salutation and a closing formula. "Hello" or "Good afternoon" are out of the question as a form of address. The perfect form is "Dear", but "Dear" is also polite and appreciated. Follow this with "Herr" or "Frau" - not your first name and surname. We are not title hunters and do not insist on being addressed by our title. However, if you do wish to do so, please never address a professor as "Frau Prof. Dr." - the correct form of address is "Frau Professor" or "Frau Professorin", followed by the surname if you wish. The same applies to Mr Professor.

With this in mind: here's to polite co-operation!

Best regards

Your Department of Ancient History
