Lost at the start of your degree – and now what?

Don’t worry – no one is alone in their confusion. Here are a few tips for settling in:

Are you confused about introductory courses and schedules? These pages can help you get started: sch e dules and pre-semester courses and introductory events.
If you have any questions about the content of the degree program, the subject advisors will be happy to help.
If it is no longer clear which question belongs where, the “Who can help me” feature provides guidance and the appropriate contacts.
It makes sense to be a little skeptical about information from WhatsApp groups or fellow students – if in doubt, it is better to check with official advisory services, such as the Student Advice Center (ZSB).

Nevertheless, interacting with fellow students is valuable: working together, supporting each other, and sharing experiences help you to keep track of things.

Finally, it’s worth taking a look at the page on starting out at university – go through the checklist step by step and cross off what you’ve already done. This creates structure and calm.
