[Start of studies](#accordionItem-1293303-3)

The academic year is divided into **two semesters**:

- The **summer semester** - abbreviated as SoSe (from April 1 to September 30) and
- The **winter semester** - abbreviated as WiSe (from October 1- March 31)

Each semester has a lecture period when most courses take place. The summer-semester lecture period lasts from mid-April to the end of July and in the winter semester from Mid-October until the beginning of February ([lecture period may be found here](https://www.lmu.de/de/workspace-fuer-studierende/1x1-des-studiums/vorlesungszeiten/index.html "Link opens in a new window")).\
Most lab courses, block courses, etc. take place during the lecture-free period, which is sometimes, incorrectly, called "semester break".

**Introductory events**

- For **first semester students** (bachelor, state examinations, teaching courses) introductory courses are offered. Times and dates of theses courses can be found in the [LSF university course catalogue](https://lsf.verwaltung.uni-muenchen.de/ "Link opens in a new window").
- On the first day or week of the lecture period there are events to inform students about the coming semester and to organize practice groups and assign lab spaces.

[Interactive learning](#accordionItem-1293303-4)

In these interactive learning programs you can test your knowledge of chemistry (e.g. stoichiometry) before and during your studies.

- The interactive learning program "[Chemical Computation](https://www.cup.lmu.de/de/rund-ums-studium/fragen-zum-einstieg/interaktive-lernaufgaben/ "Link opens in a new window")**"** (Chemisches Rechnen, created by Isabel Puchinger, LMU) is targeted at university students and high school pupils in the higher grades.
- [Online Self Assessments für Studieninteressierte](https://www.studiengangstest.de/portal/ "Link opens in a new window") - developed by and geared towards TH Nuremberg, but recommended for anyone interested in science.
- [EChemTest](https://ectn.eu/committees/virtual-education-community/echemtest/ "Link opens in a new window") - The European Chemistry Test Official Website

We also recommend to participat in the OMB+ ("Online Mathematics Bridge Course"):\
