Information about the Orientation Week
The orientation week is tailored to your specific degree programme. It begins with an opening event for all first-year students on your programme. It is essential that you attend, as this is where the small groups for the rest of the week will be formed.
In these groups, you will be supported by mentors – students from higher years on your programme. The programme for the week will be communicated to you within the group and agreed upon together.
Be sure to reserve time for the entire week from morning until late afternoon, including on the very first day. Many groups also meet in the evenings. So please keep the week as free as possible.
In your small groups, you will have the opportunity, amongst other things, to
- familiarise yourself with the structure and regulations of your degree programme,
- make contact with your fellow students,
- get help with timetable planning and course registration,
- familiarise yourself with JLU’s digital platforms,
- discuss study- and career-related questions with lecturers,
- and get to know the university as an institution, including the student union.
