The semester begins on October 1: A warm welcome to our new students
Last year's orientation session for first-year students.
The new semester begins on October 1, 2026 —and we warmly welcome our new students to the Faculty of Civil Engineering!
For first-semester students, the First-Semester Orientation (ESE) begins the week before classes start. Our student council organizes numerous events throughout the week to help you get to know the faculty, the campus, and Dresden. The first official lectures begin on October 12.
The official orientation event for all newly enrolled students will take place on October 9 and is mandatory.
