The programme for the Student Orientation Days (STET for short) is now online. We wish you a good start to your studies!
Starting a degree programme, switching to another university or moving to another city is a big step that we want to support you with. We offer Student Orientation Days (STET) in the week before the start of your studies. If you start your Bachelor's programme as a first-year student, students from the higher semesters, your student tutors, will be there to support you. In addition to preparing for your studies, you will learn a lot of interesting and exciting things about studying and student life in Erfurt.

Why you should participate in the STET? Because you:
- get to know your fellow students before lectures start
- get a first impression of the campus and Erfurt
- are going to understand how the study programme at the University of Erfurt is structured and what you will have to achieve in your future studies
- will have created your timetable for the first semester by the end of the week
- find out what offers are available for you at the Language Centre, the University Sports Club (USV Erfurt), the University Computer and Media Centre (URMZ), the Studierendenwerk Thüringen or in the library (UB)
The advantages are obvious and that's why you should not miss the Student Orientation Days at your new university!
