Welcome Days 2024 approaching!
The Welcome Days for the new academic year 2024/25 will take place to ensure a successful start to studies at Berlin International. The event, which lasts several days, aims to provide our first-year students with the most important information for a successful start to their studies and to bring them together with the entire BI community.
Our Welcome Days for all degree programs will be held September 23-30. We have decided to hold Welcome Days as a mix of online, hybrid, and on-campus events.
The first day will be handled online. After the welcome by the President, Prof. Dr. Yüksel Pögün-Zander, there will be an introductory session by our Student Affairs Team, where all information about the "Who is who", the procedures and facilities of the university, the study guide, and among others information about the timetables will be given. It continues with a Library Info Session for the students.
We will officially welcome our new students to campus from Tuesday to Thursday. While enrollment and document review are taking place, our Workshop Manager, Holger Janke, will conduct his introductory safety training in the workshop for students from the Faculty of Architecture and Design.
On Friday, the last day, the students will kick off the day with a guest lecture by Rouven Sperling - Project Manager Talent at International Berlin Partner for Business and Technology, and learn how to navigate as an international student successfully. Afterwards they will receive an introduction to the programs by their respective program directors. This will be conducted hybrid - on campus with the option of online participation for those facing visa delays and travel restrictions.
On the same day, students will have the opportunity to meet and interact with the Student Council and the Berlin International Alumni Association at the joint Semester Welcome Party at Schleusenkrug, where they will have the chance to meet fellow students from all programs to while away the week and get to know each other.
But that's not all! We will round off the Welcome Days with a nice boat tour to explore Berlin together!
We are looking forward to an educational and entertaining week.
We wish all students a successful start to the Fall 2024/25 semester, and see you soon!
