Students participating in our intensive German language course must arrive during the Arrival Days 1. Students not participating in our orientation / intensive language course must arrive during the Arrival Days 2. Exact dates are listed above under "Academic Calender". Please note: It is not possible to move into your room before or after the designated Arrival Days because the International Office has to make a number of arrangements for a large group of students. Students who arrive earlier must stay in a hotel or at a youth hostel at their own expense.
Students wishing to participate in the language course should make sure to arrive on time so as not to miss any sessions. They need to plan in at least three "administrative days" before the start of the orientation days (working days, not Saturday/Sunday!).
Sometimes, exams can also be scheduled on an individual basis.
The academic year runs over two semesters:
The actual dates for orientation, lecture periods and exam periods vary from year to year!
| 2 Months | April - May | May - June | June - July | July - August | |
| 3 Months | April - June | May - July | June - August | July - September | |
| 4 Months | April - July | May - August | June - September | ||
| 5 Months | April - August | May - September | |||
| 6 Months | April - September | October - March |
Clinical electives/hospital rotations or thesis/projects can be arranged outside the semester rhythm, as long as students choose one of the time slots offered (see table).
