The online events of the international student orientation will be held via the web conference software BigBlueButton (BBB). If you registered for the international student orientation, you will receive a link to the online conference room per e-mail shortly before the orientation.

Note: Currently, the orientation programs take place in hybrid form. As we believe that personal interaction is a vital part of our programs we offer a mix of online and presence events. As far as the infection situation allows, we include personal interaction in presence in compliance with applicable hygiene measures. Being present in Marburg during the orientation gives you important information that you need for your studies. Also, you have the chance to interact and connect with fellow students.

Events that are marked with (M) are also relevant for students from the MO:VE program.
