IU Orientation Week

The perfect welcome to university life at IU

You’ve arrived in Germany and classes start in one week – now what? You’re in a new place with limited knowledge of the language, seeing new faces everywhere, and adjusting to a new sense of autonomy around your studies. Chances are, you’re feeling a little overwhelmed.

But there’s no need to worry! At IU, you’ll feel welcome and supported every step of the way – starting with Orientation Week. Here’s an overview of what you can look forward to when you’ve arrived in Germany.

Exciting times await you when you join us on your chosen IU campus. Some of our presentations will only be held online on Zoom, so make sure to bring along your laptop, tablet, or mobile phone. All you need to do is connect to the Wi-Fi on campus and click on the Zoom link to join these virtual sessions – easy!

At the end of the Orientation Week, all presentation slides will be made available on the IU myCampus student platform. Here’s a summary of what you can expect:
