Start of Studies

Welcome to the Institute of Psychology!

During the "OrientierungsEinheit“ (OE) (ESIW: ErstSemesterInformationsWoche) , members of the Psychology Student Council will support you in laying the foundation for a successful start to your studies:

• In small group sessions, you’ll learn how to register for courses using STiNE,
• You’ll receive guidance on setting up your university email account,
• You'll get an overview of the modules you'll be studying,
• You’ll become familiar with the campus,
• At the "Opportunities Fair", you’ll learn how to get involved in university life, and
• You’ll meet some of your instructors at the "Faculty Café."

The full OE program is available on the “Psycho ESIW” page or on Instagram.

To strengthen or refresh your mathematical skills in preparation for the Quantitative Methods (Statistics) modules, we recommend participating in the following preparatory courses:

• Mathematics Pre-Course (before the lecture period begins)
• OMB+ Online Mathematics Bridging Course

Additional information to help you get started can be found on the Campus Center website:

• Checklist for starting your studies
• Information for first-semester students (e.g., “Digital Setup”: B-Kennung login, Wi-Fi, VPN, email, printing and copying)
