Orientation week
The orientation week takes place at the beginning of the degree programme. Its aim is to familiarise you with the most important organisational key data such as creating the schedule, registering for courses and the nature of modules. It also gives you the opportunity to get to know other students from the first semester, as well as students from higher semesters. To help you find your way around the university as quickly as possible, we recommend that you take part in the orientation phase events. There are events that are offered by the faculty as well as events that we offer you in the subject. You will soon be informed about the entire O-week programme on the faculty website. Here you can find out in advance what we are planning for you in the World Literature programme. You can also download an FAQ info sheet and information on scheduling in the first semester.Orientation week 2025 in the World Literature programme
