Orientation Programs
Dear students,
Welcome to the University of Siegen - we are delighted to have you join us (soon)!
Before lectures start, the Department of International Student Affairs offers an Orientation for Erasmus+ exchange students and international degree seeking students who start their studies in winter or summer semester. We guide you through the enrolment process, prepare your registration with local authorities, and provide general information on studies in Siegen, student services and campus life.
The student society Erasmus Student Network (ESN) supports us during the Welcome Weeks and organizes social events in the afternoons and evenings.
