The department introduces itself

A warm welcome to you!
We are delighted that you have decided to study at the University of Kassel and, in particular, a subject from our Department of Social Sciences.
We have compiled the essential information for a good start to your studies on the university's study information pages.
At the beginning of your studies, orientation days are held in the form of orientation tutorials ("O-Tutorien" for short). Here you will learn everything you need to know to start your Bachelor's or teacher training course at Faculty 05 - Social Sciences.
The O-Tutorials are led by experienced students from higher semesters. They will accompany you as you embark on this new stage (of your life)!
If there is anything else that is unclear to you, please get in touch with your questions.
