Introduction and start of studies

The most important dates and offers for the start of your 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.

Dear Students,
The orientation days for the Bachelor’s program in Business Law provide all the information you need to get started with your studies. In addition to an orientation tour of the University of Kassel campus, you’ll be introduced to all the key contacts relevant to your program. By the end of the orientation days, you’ll also understand the structure of your program and be familiar with the information systems relevant to your studies.
We look forward to seeing you!
