Welcome Events for New Students



Dear first-year students,


we are glad that you have chosen us as your place of study. We hope that you will quickly settle in with us and are also very much looking forward to welcoming you personally to the University in the lecture halls and on campus in the coming semester.


The lecture period for the summer semester starts on 8 April 2024.


Welcome Events


Incoming Office of the Faculty of Business and Economics


Students of the Faculty of Business and Economics organize an introductory week for new students (in German) every semester. This orientation week will take place from 14-12 April 2024. It is carried out by students of the WiWi-O-Phase association which are students who have already studied at the faculty for at least one semester.



Graphic Faculty Welcome Event 5 April 2024



For our international (exchange) students, our Incoming Office organizes a welcome meeting on Friday, 5 April 2024 from 10:00 to 13:00 in VG 3.102 (“Verfügungsgebäude”, 3rd floor, room 102). You will get to know your fellow international students and the team of our incoming office and learn everything you need to know for your studies at our faculty in two workshops. In addition, you will get to know social offers like the Study Buddy Programme and the Exchange@WiWi Programme.


Campus & City Tours


In the afternoon, it’s time to discover the campus and the city of Göttingen. Get on a tour in small groups, discover your new home for the next months, find out where to find the best coffee on campus, the cheapest beer in town and much more. Local students will lead the tour, so you can get in contact and learn from their experience in Göttingen.



Göttingen International


Furthermore, Göttingen International, the International Office of Göttingen University, welcomes all international students to their Welcome Event on 4 April 2024. From 4-8 March 2024, Göttingen International also offers a "Pre-Arrival Online Introductory Week": Learn everything about your stay in Göttingen already before your arrival.


Become a Study Buddy


Our Study Buddy programme wants to promote the exchange between international and German students at the University of Göttingen. When you register as a Study Buddy, you can enter your home country, study programme and personal interests so that suitable tandems between German and international students can be formed. The programme can be set up individually - whether you plan a weekly coffee meeting to catch up, meet irregularly whenever it suits you or communicate online is totally up to you. Meet our local and international students in order to create a great international network! More information
