New students face many questions in their first semester: How does course registration work? When do my courses take place? How do I find my way around Moodle and LSF? What is the examination office? And what is the best way to get to know my fellow students?\
To answer all these questions right at the beginning of your studies, the department offers numerous events, contact points and information websites. On these websites you will find an overview of everything you need to know for your first semester.
