Events
Opening of the Academic Year The traditional ceremony on October 18 has been the central celebration at the beginning of each academic year at the University of Bonn for more than 202 years now.
First-Semester-Students' Welcome The First-Semester-Students' Welcome event is the official, central welcoming event for first-semester-students at the University of Bonn. The annual event takes place at the beginning of October, at the start of the winter semester. The program usually includes a roundtable discussion and an information fair, followed by the popular "Ersti-Party".
Unifest The Bonn University Festival With the University Festival in 2005, the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität took on a pioneering role in honoring its graduates. It was the first German university to break new ground by organizing a joint celebration for all graduates. The university festival with graduation ceremony and university ball has long since become an "institution". In 2020, the attendance parts of the University Festival unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the Corona Pandemic. The Unifest was unceremoniously moved to the digital space. This year, it will consist of a combination of a presence action in the open air on the Hofgartenwiese as well as digital offers (individualization of an own graduation video, placing of photos and messages, individualization of digital postcards). During the "Graduation Walk", which is planned for the last weekend in August, the graduates and their companions can move from station to station and take advantage of exciting offers. The highlight will be the presentation of the certificates in front of the main building of the university.
200 years of University of Bonn The 200th anniversary of the University of Bonn took place on October 18, 2018 with a large ceremony in the WCCB in the presence of the Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
