Events & Activities for Exchange Students
Orientation Week for Exchange Students
The orientation week for exchange students organized by the International Office usually starts with a Welcome Day. It includes an introductionary information session, a campus tour at our Campus Gelsenkirchen as well as a city tour/scavenger hunt to explore the city of Gelsenkirchen.
During the next days, day trips to different German cities are offered which are organized and accompanied by our student tutors (we visited the beautiful cities of Münster and Cologne in the last semesters). Other typical events during orientation week are our Bowling Night and International Picnic.
