Orientation Days for Bachelor's Students
Welcome to the University of Applied Sciences Jena!
The University of Applied Sciences Jena offers first-semester students orientation days before the start of the winter semester. During these days, you’ll be mentored by “senior” students in your program and introduced to important topics related to your studies and student life.
Why should you participate in the orientation days?
- You’ll make your first connections with your fellow students even before classes begin.
- You’ll get to know your department and other important university facilities.
- You’ll discover the cultural and recreational opportunities available at our university and in the city of Jena.
The orientation days for our bachelor's students will take place during the week of October 5–9, 2026, and on October 12, 2026.
