Pre-Course 2026 — Orientation For New GL/CL Students

17 September 2026

We would like to invite you to our annual pre-course (orientation week), by students, for students.

Precourse Poster

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 as there are mandatory programming courses scheduled for the first semester of the Bachelors.
