During the OU you'll get the chance to meet the other students and learn lots of things about the Uni Hamburg that you'll need in your studies and day-to-day life. So don't worry to much beforehand, we'll show you all of the important stuff! To do that, we've planned a variety of activities. In addition to an introduction to all of the important things you'll have to do and know for your studies, there will be a city tour in small groups. We'll also show you the "Informatikum", the CS campus. Furthermore you'll also get to know STiNE, the campus management system, which you'll need to enroll in courses and we'll help you in finding the right courses for you. There will even be two test lectures to give you a first impression of what studying will be like.

If you're working or planning on working parallel to studying, try to keep the time of the OU as free as possible, especially the first Friday, as we'll be going over some essential stuff on that day. We know it may be hard to manage this, but we promise it'll be worth it.

Since the welcome address will take place outside, you should dress according to the weather and possibly bring an umbrella.

At lunchtime, the refectory serves hot food at reasonable prices. You can pay cash or with a card. Snacks and drinks are available throughout the day at the OE café. You are welcome to bring your own cups for coffee and tea.
