In order to make your start at FIN easier, the student council organises an introductory week for all new students every year, together with many volunteers and with the support of the Faculty of Computer Science. Between many fun and interesting events, we provide you with all the important information about studying and the city of Magdeburg that you will need when you start your studies.
An overview of important introductory dates at OvGU can be found at https://www.ovgu.de/unimagdeburg/en/Study/First_Year+Orientation/First+Dates-p-42864.html.
In addition to activities organized by your student council (FaRaFIN), the International Office together with IKUS (Intercultural Students) also hosts exciting events and information sessions.
Feel free to check out IKUS if you would like to discover more intercultural events.
If you have any questions or problems, please contact your mentor or post@farafin.de.
