Important information for the Vocational School Teaching Program (L4 Bachelor’s): The study of the second major usually does not begin until the third semester. Of course, all first-semester students in this program are still welcome to attend our orientation; however, scheduling classes for Catholic Religion, for example, is not yet relevant for you at this point.

If your degree program isn’t listed above, we don’t offer a separate orientation for it. This mainly applies to the master’s programs in our department. In this case, we’d like to direct you to the orientation session led by the faculty members; you can find the date on your degree program’s page. Nevertheless, you’re warmly invited to attend our Bachelor’s and teacher education orientation sessions if, for example, you’d like to get to know the campus or your fellow students.

Which introductory session you should primarily attend in this case depends on your degree program. If you’re pursuing a combined bachelor’s degree, you should attend the introductory session for your major. If you’re studying to become an elementary school teacher, we recommend that you attend the introductory session for L1 German. For primary/secondary school and high school teaching programs, you are free to choose which subject-specific orientation session you’d like to attend. We orientation tutors remain in close contact throughout the entire period and can also assist you with the other subject if necessary or refer you to the appropriate internal resources.

The orientation events for Departments 02 and 05 overlap by two days. In this case, we recommend that you attend the first two days (Oct. 5–6) at Department 05 and the last two days (Oct. 7–8) at Department 02. October 7 is the most important day of our orientation, as it includes an explanation of the examination regulations and the joint creation of the course schedule, so you shouldn’t miss it.

No, registration is not required.

Since the sessions build on each other in terms of content, it makes perfect sense to attend them all. If you're unable to attend one of the sessions, you can still join us on the other two days.

In addition to our orientation, the faculty also offer subject-specific orientations for first-semester students. These take place one week later (Oct. 12–14); you can find the dates on your degree program’s website. However, that website does not explain in detail how to create a class schedule, for example. If you need help with this, please feel free to contact us, either by email or during our weekly academic advising hours.
