Welcome Week

International Student Support

Welcome Week

[Translate to English:]

For all international students who are new to Braunschweig, we organize a Welcome Week at the beginning of the semester. This programme is an excellent opportunity for you to get to know the university and make new friends. It includes a kick off event, campus tours, information events on study-related topics, practical workshops, get-to-know-you events and much more. One highlight is the first-year excursion to exciting destinations in the region.

Date

In the summer semester 2024 the Welcome Week took place from 25 to 28 March!
