During your studies
The University of Bonn is here to support you actively throughout your studies - from your first day of class to the day you graduate. Yet we know that you invariably follow your own unique path to your degree. Your personal conditions, goals and challenges can play a major role in your time at university. We are dedicated to helping you and warmly invite you to make use of our tailored support services, take part in our workshops and attend our events.
Starting your studies
Starting university is a personal and unique experience – a new chapter in life that’s exciting, opening up myriad new opportunities in parallel. We want to help you get ready for the changeover to your studies in a good and systematic way and make sure you independently co-shape your start into your studies.
Key semester dates
In the Key Semester Dates section, you will find the academic calendar of the University of Bonn as well as information on application and enrollment deadlines, lecture periods, days off and re-registration deadlines for the following semester.
Organizing your studies
Organizing their studies themselves, which includes taking care of formalities or observing important semester dates, is a crucial task for every student.
The University of Bonn’s advisory and other services are always here to assist you in systematically navigating your studies, for you to impact your unique study path positively in the long run. In doing so, we are also happy to show you ways to develop and sharpen skills beyond the scope of your degree program.
Bergfest
Made it halfway through your studies? Great! Come along to the Bergfest, refuel at the food truck, enjoy a free soft drink, relax with a yoga session and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Botanic Garden. Make use of the empowerment stations, stroll along the poster walk, learn some relaxation techniques and visit the “advice market” for tips on spending time abroad or the topic of careers guidance.
Doubts about Your Studies – Find your path
Doubts are part of life and part of studying, and they can always be an opportunity. Whether you are struggling with your current study situation, thinking about switching degree programs, or want to find out about alternatives to studying at the University of Bonn, you will find the right counseling service on our web portal!
International Study and Internship Fair (SUPA)
The annual International Study and Internship Fair offers visitors the opportunity to learn about different ways to go abroad, find inspiration, and hear first-hand accounts from others. University departments and external organizations that arrange study places, award scholarships, or represent specific countries such as France or Japan are represented with booths at the fair.
Graduation and transition to a professional career
The University of Bonn helps students and graduates transition from university to a professional career by offering advice and support, workshops, a diverse range of career guidance events as well as start-up support already during studies.
Unifest
Your studies mark the end of an important period in your life in which the University of Bonn, your alma mater, played a decisive role. We want to celebrate this important part of your biography together with you. The highlight of the celebration will be the return to traditional program points such as the star march of the faculties as well as the common hat toss.
