This is an old revision of the document!
This year there will once again be an orientation unit (OU for short) for all first-semester students.
The OU is a one-week period right at the beginning of your studies during which you get to know the university and your fellow students. We, your student council, organise the OU for you.
This year we have once again created a Signal group for you first-semester students. You can make contacts there in advance and we will also post all the information all the information about the upcoming events. So feel free to join the group.
Signal group ← click on it or scan the QR code.
The (highly recommended) bridge courses start at the 30th of september at 9:00 in the Audimin (former Audimax 2). The locations will be announced on the linked page.
These will continue until the start of the orientation session. Especially the IT introduction (e.g. WLAN and printing at the university) on the first day is very important.
On Thursday 10 October 2024 we will meet for the first time at the semester opening ceremony and the first semester welcome.
There will be no lectures for you in the OU week from 14 October 2024. It will be filled with events of all kinds. Among other things, there will be a rally through Harburg, a campus tour and a nerdBar so that you can get to know the university grounds, the district and your new fellow students.
All our events will take place on the TU Hamburg campus in Hamburg-Harburg. The best way to get there by public transport is via the S3 and S5 stations Harburg-Rathaus or Heimfeld. Next to the schedule is a map of the university
of the university so that you can always find us.
The serious side of life doesn't start for you until 21 October 2024, when your regular lectures begin (tutorials usually start a week later).

Our classic bar! This time we're holding it with karaoke for you.
