Notes on the orientation week
O-Week is in full swing and we are receiving many inquiries about it.
In addition to the official information events, this is extremely helpful for a successful start. For a first orientation, it is worth taking a look at the schedule of the Münster Sociology Student Council. The student council also maintains an Instagram channel where current information is compiled and contact can be made.
Please note that this is not the official institute offer. Info on the official info events and dates of the institute are published on the homepage of the Institute of Sociology.
Important: Check your university inbox (xy@uni-muenster.de) regularly, as the institute has sent and is sending important first semester info there.
We wish you an exciting and successful O-Week!
