Taking a closer look at the Viadrina Co-Writing Space right at the beginning is a pretty good idea - welcome! Because you'll be here more often during your studies anyway! So get to know and love the people, the possibilities and the atmosphere of this collaborative learning and writing space right away.

GET-TOGETHER on 2 April 2024, 4 pm - 6:30 pm, in the Canteen/Mensa (GD)

The Lord Mayor of Frankfurt (Oder) René Wilke, the President of Viadrina Prof. Dr. Eduard Mühle and the Head of the Central Student Advisory Service Dr. Franziska Boll warmly welcome you to the start of your studies in the Canteen/Mensa (Gräfin-Dönhoff Building).

Get to know your future fellow students in a convivial atmosphere with Bratwurst and free beer! Students from all the student councils organise exciting activities such as table tennis, egg races, sack races, quizzes and much more ...

Have fun! Good humour guaranteed!

 

 

For all first-year students of all faculties & international first-year students!

Ersti Bar Hopping is one of the most popular events during Freshers' Week. The FSRs prepare a route through FFO to show the new students the typical student bars. And to ensure that all students feel free and safe, an awareness team will be present.

It's worth taking part, because the students not only get to know Frankfurt bars, but also make their first friends on this evening, which will accompany them throughout their studies.
