Your study start: Student Orientation Days
New at the university? Information for first-year students at the University of Erfurt
The programme for the Student Orientation Days (STET for short) is now online. We wish you a good start to your studies!
Well prepared for 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!
Offers for all students
Information on language tests (placement test)
Placement test for German as a foreign language (DaF), English, French, Italian, Russian and Spanish
For pure beginner courses (A1) no placement test is necessary. However, if you have previous knowledge of a foreign language, you must take a placement test. This concerns the languages DaF, English, French, Italian, Russian and Spanish.
For all other languages, please contact the respective lecturer regarding the placement test.
Offers of the University Library at the beginning of studies
Information for First Semester Students
The library has prepared various offers for first-year students for the start of their studies. We have compiled the most important information for you so that you can familiarise yourself with using the library in advance and online.
Library (introductory) tours
In addition, we offer library tours where you can get to know the library on site. These guided tours take place on fixed dates and with a limited number of participants, therefore registration is necessary. Please check the schedule for your degree programme in advance to see if you can attend at your desired time.
Office hours of the Equal Opportunities Office at the beginning of studies
The Equal Opportunities Officer provides confidential advice on issues such as the compatibility of studies and family responsibility, experiences with sexual discrimination, harassment or violence. She continues to provide advice at other times by telephone, via Webex video conference or in the office by appointment by e-mail.
Networking and exchange
We have set up a Moodle room for all students at the University of Erfurt to find out and exchange information about studying with children. There is general information from the university and the student union, but also help and tips from other parents.
In addition, we want to hold a kind of regulars' table or a topic-related event once a month.
