Welcome to the first semester introductory days at the University of Bamberg!
Dear first semester students,
During the first semester introductory days (EET), a variety of events are offered to make your start into your studies at the University of Bamberg as easy as possible. The most important event is the subject introduction with the subject tutorial, which is offered for every degree program. This tutorial should be attended and helps to start the first weeks of your studies in an organised and stress-free way. It is recommended to attend as many on-site events as possible in order to get the best possible start to your studies.

Information on events
Here you will find a more detailed description of the individual events offered during the EET. Events marked with necessary are essential for you to attend. For events labeled helpful content, you can decide whether you already have the required prior knowledge or if you can learn something new here. Social events do not provide new content, but help you get to know the university, the city, and your fellow students better.
Each event includes a description, category, prerequisites, purpose/goals, and registration details. Information about location and time is only partially provided in the event details, as some events take place multiple times for different target groups.
