Every semester the Incoming Office organises an Introductory Week for international students, which consists of several events. In Summer Semester 2019, the Introductory Week will take place from the 1st April to the 5th of April 2019.
This orientation programme is designed to facilitate your start into university life in Göttingen and to inform you about the full range of support available at the University of Göttingen.
The orientation programme is intended for all new international students, however some of the activities are designed for specific groups. The activity description explains which activities require you to register for them.
The “Introduction to Studying and Living in Göttingen” on Thursday are intended for all new international students, regardless of whether you are here for one semester or whether you are planning on completing a full degree here in Göttingen. These events are essential for a good start to your studies and it is therefore strongly recommended that you take part in them.
The „Welcome Meeting“ is aimed at Erasmus and exchange students who are only here for one or two semesters and who will not be graduating here. A registration is not necessary for this event, which is also the case for the pub evening on the 3th of April.
The Intercultural Training event and the City Tour are open to all international students. One event will be offered in German and one in English. Please register in advance for this activities since there are only a limited number of places available.
International students are welcome to take part in all other orientation activities. Ho wever, please be aware of the registration deadlines!
