First-Year Student Day 2025

Once again this year, the University of Freiburg welcomed its new first-year students to the Europa-Park Stadium of SC Freiburg for the first-year student day on October 10. At the SC Stadium, located close to the Faculty of Engineering, all new students, their families and friends, as well as students from higher semesters, came together to kick off the new academic year.

During the Faculty of Engineering’s Orientation Week (O-Week), new Bachelor’s and Master’s students were thoroughly prepared for this exciting new chapter in their lives through a diverse program. A wide range of information sessions, intercultural trainings, preparatory mathematics courses, and additional activities organized by the student association—including various social events—provided an excellent introduction to university life and the first opportunities to get to know one another.

After the official welcome, guests had the opportunity to explore the Market of Opportunities, where they could get to know the university’s central institutions, the student council (StuRa), as well as a wide variety of student communities, groups, associations, and partners.

We are delighted to welcome all new students — and we wish our new members of the Faculty of Engineering in particular a successful start to this exciting new chapter in their lives.
