Each orientation week opens with a welcome to the degree programmes listed below. After the opening, the groups for the rest of the week will be formed. Please make sure you attend the opening events at the times indicated, as you will be divided into different groups after a few minutes. It is not necessary to register in advance.

There is no official programme on the public holiday (03 October). However, the groups may meet for leisure activities.

^{[1] In addition to the introductory week at JLU, we recommend that first-semester students on the BBB degree programme in metal and electrical engineering take part in the introductory programme (STEP) at the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) from 7 to 11 October. More}

Orientation Weeks for Master's Students

Separate events are held for the Master's degree programmes. You will find information on the Master's programme orientation days (Master-StET) here after publication .

The International Office offers further orientation programmes for international Students ( Orientation Week for International Students ).

ㅤ

The orientation week (StEW) is designed as a programme-specific event. It always starts with a welcome event for all first-year students of a degree programme or a group of degree programmes (see ‘Dates’). Make sure you attend your opening event, as this is where the groups for the rest of the week are allocated!

After the welcome event, small groups (approx. 15-20 participants) are formed, which are accompanied by mentors - students from higher semesters of your degree programme - and spend the rest of the week together. Within these groups, the programme for the rest of the week will be communicated to you.

No official programme will take place on Friday due to a national holiday (October 3). The groups may meet for leisure activities.

You should be prepared to be involved during the StEW from at least the morning until late afternoon (even on the first day). Many groups also meet in the evenings for joint activities. So make sure to keep your schedule free in order to participate in the entire programme.

ㅤ

In small groups, you will have the opportunity to...

• inform yourself about the expectations, rules, and composition of your study programmes.
• make connections with fellow students.
• to get an idea of the new student life situation, of everyday student life and to familiarise yourself with it.
• get support in choosing courses and organising your timetable.
• register for certain courses.
• familiarise themselves with the JLU's electronic platforms such as the course and examination systems and the learning platforms.
• discuss study and career-related questions with university lecturers.
• familiarise themselves with the university as an institution, including student representation and self-administration.

Please note : The orientation weeks are mandatory for first-semester students of the Bachelor's programmes Biology and Geography.
