Services for new students


Orientation event

As a service, the Faculty of Catholic Theology offers its new students a workshop before the start of the winter semester that covers the following topics:

  • Introduction to the faculty
  • Contact persons at the faculty and the university
  • How do I register for courses and examinations?
  • Introduction to U:FIND, U:SPACE
  • Information on study law

A computer will be available at the workshop, i.e. you can actively participate and, for example, register for courses under supervision if you have not already done so. The workshop script (including U:Find and U:SPACE step-by-step instructions) is available for you to read or refer to in the download area.

Introductory and orientation period (STEOP)

The Bachelor-/Diploma programmes require you to complete an introductory and orientation period during the first semester. Only after the successful completion of the introductory and orientation period further exams of non-continuous assessement courses may be completed and courses with continuous assessment attended.

Mentoring: Accompanying course for the STEOP in Theology

The accompanying seminar helps STEOP students to deepen their knowledge of the content and offers the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the STEOP courses. General questions about the programme can also be discussed.
