Orientation Programmes

Our orientation programmes provide you with helpful information on getting started at TU Darmstadt.

The International Student Services (ISS) offer two different orientation programmes for a successful start to your studies at TU Darmstadt: The X-Weeks are specifically designed for incoming exchange students and are held in September and March. The Kick-Off Days are aimed at all international students and take place every April and October.

Don't Miss the Orientation Week (OWO)

This important week is organised by the departments and student representative committees and provides essential orientation alongside the events from ISS. The orientation week focuses on academic topics and helps you prepare effectively for your studies. It is an excellent opportunity for all new students to gain valuable information and meet many new people.
