Orientation Days, Student Council & Co.

From team sports to fitness classes, you can let off steam here and meet people who might be in your degree program or share similar interests. The student council is also a great point of contact during the Orientation Days. They not only offer helpful information and guidance but also organize many events where you can quickly connect with others. Whether you have questions about your studies or simply want to make new friends – the student council is always there for you!
