Further dates and offers for the start of studies
There is not just one introductory event at the University of Kassel. Rather, there is an extensive range of different "organizers":
- On the one hand, the departments offer an official program. This type of introduction is about the subject: What is the subject about? What specializations are offered in Kassel? Which Professors and subject areas determine the content? So: be sure to attend and ask questions!
- For some (not all) degree programs and subjects, we recommend attending preliminary courses. Pre-courses are aimed at first-year students who would like to refresh their knowledge in certain subjects. The preliminary courses start before the introductory dates.
- The student councils often also offer introductory events. The student council is part of the student self-organization and deals with the specific questions of the students of a department. In terms of content, it deals with questions about the course of studies, the organization of the curriculum, learning organization and examinations. The student councils therefore offer help on how best to study this subject.
- There are also "welcome events": First semester welcome, offers for students with children, offers for international students.
In the summer semester 2026, the introductory events for your respective degree program will take place between Thursday, 09.04.26, Friday, 10.04.2026 and/or Monday, 13.04.2026. Participation in the introductory events is highly recommended.
The regular courses begin on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. The course period ends on July 17, 2026.
Tuesday after Whitsun (25 May 26) and so-called bridge days (Fridays after Ascension Day 15 May 26 and Corpus Christi 05 June 26) are not free of events.
