Introductory week and first semester tutorial

Winter semester

The introductory week is aimed at all first-year students in the Bachelor's programs as well as those who are new to TU Ilmenau for the Master's program. It usually takes place in the first week of October and offers a varied program on all topics related to the start of studies: with introductory events on the respective degree programs, mathematics refresher courses and group meetings with the tutors. These students from higher semesters accompany all new students not only during the first days, but also during the entire first semester and are available for advice and support.

The cultural and recreational program during the introductory week is organised by the ErstiWochen-Organisation (EWO), a working group of the Student Council (StuRa) of the TU Ilmenau. The program of the "ErstiWoche" with all its highlights can be found online.
