staRT-weeks

Two weeks before the start of the semester, Reutlingen University offers staRT weeks to prepare students for their studies. The programme ranges from maths/physics and chemistry courses to events on getting started in the university world, tips & tricks on the study plan and offers for international students. There is a specific offer for students of the Faculty of Computer Science.

This semester, we will offer many preparatory courses in maths, physics, computer science and chemistry, as well as various workshops and meetings online and in presence.

The staRT weeks are not compulsory - but as we all know, preparation is half the battle. Take advantage of the opportunity to get to know fellow students and network before the semester starts.

Our recommendation is therefore: register and join in!
