Pre-Course 2025 — Orientation For New GL/CL Students
8 September 2025
Begin your academic journey with our 5-day orientation event!
The pre-course is an opportunity for incoming General and Computational Linguistics students to get a first introduction to their degree through talks, guided workshops, and tours held by students from the Fachschaft and some of your tutors.
Please bring a laptop (+ charger).
ALL students (both GL and CL) are strongly recommended to obtain a laptop for their studies NOW - e.g. there are mandatory programming courses scheduled for the first semester of the Bachelors.
