Getting started with your Masters

Start your Master's studies together during the Opening Days! In a diverse program from September 29 to October 5, you will get a first insight into the study program, explore the culture of study and get to know fellow students and teachers. Workshops, lectures and social gatherings will answer all your questions and give you an insight into university life. An annually changing interdisciplinary topic from the impulse series "Research & ..." is prepared in small groups and discussed together with the new graduate community and international guests. This way, you will experience thinking and working as well as "arguing" in a cross-disciplinary community from the very beginning.
