First Dates

The first events at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg are the starting point for your studies - get to know your fellow students, talk to professors and explore the campus. Even before the official start of lectures, you will receive all the important information about the start and schedule of your studies and orientation in the first semester.

The introduction days prepare you specifically for your studies. In small groups, you will gain an insight into everyday student life, get to know central facilities and have the opportunity to network with each other.

For international students, the International Welcome Week offers a program with information about living and studying in Magdeburg - including language and cultural orientation.

In the pre-courses, you will refresh your school knowledge and prepare yourself for your studies. They provide a good basis for a successful start, particularly in mathematics and science subjects.

The enrolment ceremony marks the official start of your studies. The University of Magdeburg welcomes you in a festive setting.

Student initiatives, university groups and central university facilities present themselves at the Market of Opportunities. Here you will find contact points for commitment, advice and support - perfect for making further contacts.

We support you in starting this new phase of your life well prepared. Take advantage of the first events to make contacts, clarify any unanswered questions and find your way into everyday student life step by step.
