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.
