Overview over your degree program
Each degree program offered is based on different regulations that govern the course of study, offers various compulsory and elective modules and has special features such as specialisations, progress checks or stays abroad.

What do I have to do before the EET start?
Not much really. The priority should be to complete the move, get used to the new city or simply enjoy the time off.
If you take part in the on-site events, you will get almost all the relevant information there. However, it is a good idea to read through the contents of this website.
In particular, you don't need to have created a timetable yet and you don't need to be a pro at using the IT systems. During the first semester introductory days, we will help you to understand, create and set everything up.
You should also follow us on social media now (see links in the left navigation bar or at the bottom of this page on smartphones) and check your university email address regularly so that you don't miss any updates.
See you soon!
I don't have any university access data yet.
You can access the university's online services via the so-called “ba-number”. You will receive this together with your initial password in a letter sent to your home address when you enrol. Make sure you change your password as soon as you receive the letter, otherwise you may not be able to access your account later.
If you have not yet received this letter and have already waited some time, you can call the Studierendenkanzlei to be on the safe side.
Even if this does not work before the EETs, you can still take part in tutorials and other events on site.
I have detailed questions about creating my timetable or about individual modules.
During the timetable tutorial, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have to experienced tutors. If you still have questions afterwards, the WIAI student council, the student advisory service and the central student advisory service will be happy to help.
Unfortunately, I cannot be on site during the first semester introductory days.
This is a pity, but not hopeless. In this case, you should take a close look at the information material on this website. In addition, all enrollment documents should be carefully read. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a timetable tutorial for individuals. However, if you have specific questions, you can contact the WIAI Student Council, the Student Advisory Service or the Central Student Advisory Service (see the contact details below).
I have already studied in Bamberg before. How important are the EET for me?
Much of the content is already familiar: the online services and timetabling are nothing new, and the city of Bamberg is also familiar. Nevertheless, participation in some events is recommended: In the subject introduction, the formal requirements of the degree course are clearly explained again and information is given on finding your way around the study and examination regulations. The social events are particularly important for making contact with students on the new degree course.
Where can I find my ba number?
You will receive the ba number with your initial password by letter to your home address when you enrol. Make sure you change your password as soon as you receive the letter, otherwise you may not be able to access your account later.
If you have not yet received this letter and have already waited some time, you can call the Studierendenkanzlei to check.
I am studying Applied Computer Science as a minor subject and cannot find an introduction to the subject.
Since the minor in Applied Computer Science is always studied in combination with a multiple Bachelor's degree and these are usually located in the city center, the corresponding information event is also held in the city center. Please note the separate schedule for the city center EETs.
