Welcome to the University of Rostock

Information about the start of studies

The University of Rostock has been welcoming students for more than 600 years – we are looking forward to seeing you again this year!

The initial phase of studies is an exciting time, in which there is a lot to think about, get to know and organise. We will be happy to help you get to the University of Rostock.

The Rostock International House organises the introductory events for all international first semester students at the University of Rostock. We strongly recommend that you participate in the events during the orientation week.

Your team of the General Student Counselling & Careers Service wishes you a good start.


Introductory lecture by the General Student Advisory Service

The introductory week at the University of Rostock will start with a lecture by the General Student Advisory Service on 09.10.2023, from 08:00 - 09:30. At this event, all new students will receive basic information for a successful start to their studies and successful studying at the University of Rostock.

  • Central facilities and their service offerings
  • Important contacts during the study
  • Tips for starting your studies and finding your way around at the University of Rostock

Three lectures will take place simultaneously at Ulmenstraße 69 in the Audimax, in the lecture hall Arno-Esch I, and in the lecture hall Arno-Esch II.
