staRT-weeks
Each semester Reutlingen University is offering two staRT-weeks in preparation for your studies. The programme ranges from maths and physics courses to events for getting started with your studies, motivation coaching, to a guided city tour.
The start weeks are not compulsory. Officially you will be a student only from the first day of the semester – but, as is generally known, good preparation is half the job. Therefore our recommendation is that you come along and join in!
All programme information, a checklist for the beginning of your studies, an overview of the most important contact points on campus and dates and events in the first week are all summarised in the "staRT your studies- information for new students” brochure. Different schedule for International Business and International Management students, see brochures below.
For international students there is a guide with important information on how to get started (see download box).
You can also find the complete programme and many more details about the staRT-weeks on our ONLINE EXPERIENCE PLATFORM!
