Freshman program for the winter semester 2025/26

Dear first-year students,

Here you will find the current schedule of our events planned for you for the start of the winter semester 2025/26. Individual aspects of the planning may still change. The program will be kept up to date here!

Overall, the Fresher's Days are intended to give you an overview of all the important instruments of your studies and how they work. On the other hand, we look forward to getting to know you better at events such as the Humbergturm hike. These are also the perfect opportunity to get to know your fellow students.

The registration is open and running! This is done via our Olat course "Fachschaft Chemie". The link only works if you are already logged in to Olat in another browser tab! Registration is non-binding and only for events for which we need an approximate number of participants. You are also welcome to subscribe to the Olat course newsletter. This way you will be kept up to date with important announcements/information from us!

If you have any further questions, please send an email to fschemkl(at)rptu.de or simply call us on +49 631 205 2563.
