Official Introduction at HPI
- Target group: First semester students bachelor's and master's degree programs
Every semester, the Student Council organizes the so-called "Ersti-Tage" (First Semester Days) for all first semester students in the bachelor's and master's degree programs, where you learn everything you need to know for your first semester at HPI. The program, which lasts several days, includes a tour of the campus, an introduction to everyday life at the university, contacts at HPI and an introduction to the infrastructure.
Study-accompanying seminar
- Target group: First semester bachelor students
- Date: One time per week in the first semester
The seminar offers first-year students the opportunity to discuss a wide range of topics and questions concerning the start of their studies. Experienced master students act as mentors for the participants. The content is not only about the lecture material, but also about studying itself: What do exams look like? What is the best way to study? How do I organize my everyday life for a good work-life balance? How does the cooperation between lecturers and students work? These questions and much more can be discussed at StubS.
Mentoring program: Master's degree programs
- Target group: First-year master students
From the beginning of their studies, all master students are supported by a professor as a mentor and liaison lecturer.
First-semester trip
- Typically, all first-year students in the Bachelor program are also offered a first-semester trip.
- This offers the opportunity to get to know each other better.
- Participation in the first semester trip is not necessary for a successful start to your studies, but it is a great provides from the students of higher semesters to their new fellow students.
- The dates and further information about the introductory events and the “Erstifahrt” can be found on the pages of the Student Representative Group.
