First-year student’s welcome event

Welcoming new students

The winter term started Monday, November 2, 2020, with a virtual WiSo freshman welcome event for all students in German and English.

Starting at 10.15 a.m., students of the Bachelor programs Economics, Socioeconomics, International Business Studies, International Economic Studies, and Business Informatics were officially welcomed at WiSo. During the event, representatives of the service institutions such as the Student Advisory, the International Office, the Language Center, the Career Service, the student organizations, and initiatives, the representative for gender and diversity, etc. introduced themselves.

At the following virtual WiSo-info-fair, many of the service facilities, institutions, initiatives, and business partners of the department presented themselves.

For Master’s students, the new semester started on the same day with a digital, official welcome at 11:15 a.m.

In addition, program-specific introductory events for the different Bachelor and Master programs took place on this day.

Virtual campus tours, alumni greetings, and moderated interviews with potentially interesting WiSo representatives brought the day to an end.

In the evening a digital party organized by student initiatives concluded the WiSo opening week for the Bachelor students and also gave the Master students the opportunity to get to know their fellow students.

For all those who could not be there that day and for all those who still (or again) want to watch one or the other video, here is a small part of the contents of the study start.
