However, every new site of a journey begins with new steps, and sometimes obstacles arise along the way. That is why we have prepared a comprehensive parcour on the following pages to help you overcome these obstacles and ensure that you have a lot of fun and success in your studies.

We have organized a series of days for you to familiarize yourself with one another, the campus, and the institute.
