Orientierungsphasen-Programme im Wintersemester 2024/25
Eine Übersicht der Orientierungsphasen-Programme der Bachelor- und Masterstudiengänge für das Wintersemester 2024/25 wird dir rechtzeitig auf dieser Seite bereitgestellt.
What can I do before the O phase?
Register
During and after the O-Phase, you create your study plan and register for events via your university account. It is therefore advisable to create your university account before the O-Phase.
Inform
First of all, find out about the courses offered for your degree programme. The courses offered will be updated again and again until the O-phase. Therefore, you should also read through the schedule again shortly before the start. Before the O-Phase, you can also read through your examination regulations. These contain information on the course of study, the modules and your rights and obligations.
Log in
You do not have to register for all events. For example, you can take part in the first semester welcome without registering. You can find information on possible registration on the pages of your subject.

Im Rahmen der Orientierungsphase für Erstsemester erhältst du eine Einführung und Tipps für die Erstellung des Stundenplans und die Anmeldung in PAUL. Wir empfehlen diese Einführung vor der Buchung abzuwarten.
