Dear freshman,

welcome! On this page you'll find information on the orientation week from 17.10.-21.10. You can contact the student council and also find other students of Digital Humanities via WhatsApp or via Discord. The orientation week is for bachelor students as well as master students. However, since our bachelor is in German and our master is in English, events for bachelor students will be in German, events marked for both bachelor and master students will be bi-lingual and events marked for master students will be in English. You are of course welcome to join all events and we will try to accomendate the language barrier!
