Study organisation: how to successfully start into your studies

During the first weeks of your studies there are a lot of decisions to take. The orientation programme provides you with important information on this:

Your personal well-being is an important source for your successful studies. Join the Wellbeing Workshop "Make it in Passau" on 04 October at 9 a.m. at ITZ 005, Innstraße 43, to discuss your strategies for that with senior students. Please register via e-mail to istudicoach@uni-passau.de before 03 October. There are 16 seats available.

For an in-depth introduction on intercultural aspects of your studies at the University of Passau and to boost your academic writing and research skills during the first semester, we recommend the online self-learning course "Intercultural and Academic Training for international students".

Recording: "Study Organisation for degree-seeking students" Winter semester 2024

The webinar on Study Organisation shares the basics how courses are structured and taught. It is the basis for further faculty-specific information.
