Master's Orientation Events
Orientation events are organized for many Master's programs at RWTH. Unless otherwise stated, these are run in the week from September 30 to October 4, 2019.
Please contact your student representative council if your course of study is not listed below.
Faculty 7: Extra Orientation Events
Besides the events offered by the student representative councils, first-semester students at Faculty 7 can also benefit from additional orientation events organized by their faculty. Please check the events for your own course of study at the faculty.
Since you will be divided up into tutorials straight after the events and move on through the city, you should not take any laptops, iPads, or writing material with you. You will not need them at all on the introduction day.
Information for Students With a Hearing Impairment
The Rector's welcome speech will be interpreted into sign language. Students will be able to see the interpreters in each lecture hall and thus participate without any problems. If you have any questions, you can find the interpreters in Lecture Hall 1, therefore we would suggest all students with a hearing impairment gather directly in Lecture Hall 1.
Questions and Student Representative Councils
Please contact your student representative council if you have any questions about the orientation week and schedule for your subject. For general queries please get in touch with the ESA team.
