Propaedeutic course
The central first semester welcome is offered every semester on Mondays, one week before the start of lectures. After an introduction to the university, there is a guided tour of the various university buildings. Afterwards, the newly enrolled students have the opportunity to get to know Ludwigshafen as part of a city tour.
In addition to the central first semester welcome, we also offer a course-specific preparatory course course.
