Program of the Master’s Welcome and Introductory Meeting

10:00 am – 12:30 pm – Welcome and Introduction: General information about the master study programs, meeting our scientific staff and student body

12:30 – 1:30 pm – Lunch Break: Time for personal talks with the scientists and students and, of course, for a free lunch (BBQ with meat and veggie options)

1:30 – 5:00 pm – Setting up schedules and how to find information: StudOn & campo Tutorial by members of the student body

In order for us to organize the lunch break properly, please take this survey and let us know if you prefer grilled sausages (meat) or vegetarian / vegan grilled food.

Onboarding and Pre-Teaching Week

Your first lecture week starts on Monday, October 14th 2024.

During the onboarding week, you will visit each of our nine institutes, meet the scientists and learn about the respective research focuses, you will get introductory lectures and an initial lab course. In addition, there will be the preliminary meetings for the core subjects, where you get all the information about the respective courses (mandatory and electives) that you need to take.

Program

Online Access

In case you cannot participate in the onboarding week due to visa problems or other unforeseen events, we are streaming the lectures live via zoom.

Please note: Only the lectures of the onboarding week are accessible via Zoom. The regular lectures that start on October 21st have to be attended in presence.

You can find the onboarding week lecture times and the links to the respective Zoom meetings below. After the onboarding week, the recorded sessions will be uploaded to this StudOn page so that you can review them anytime.
