Checklist for the start of your studies
There is a lot to consider from all sides at the start of your studies and countless new information reaches new students. With this checklist, you can easily tick off the most urgent points and check whether you are on schedule. Although there are a few things, such as finding accommodation, that need to be tackled early on, in most cases the rule is: keep calm! You don't need to have drawn up a timetable or register for exams yet. We'll do all that calmly and together during the first semester orientation days.
