Dear Incomings of the Winter Semester 2022/2023

we are looking forward to welcoming you to HU Berlin!

the winter semester will start on the 17th of October and we would like to invite you to a preliminary orientation session at the Department of Social Sciences.

It will take place on Thursday, September 29th, at 4pm in our building in Universitätsstr. 3b.

It will be organized as a hybrid session, so that you can also join remotely. If you are already in Berlin and join us in person, please take care to follow the customary COVID-19 rules desinfect your hands, keep you distance, and if possible wear a FFP2 mask.

There will be a repeat of this orientation session in the first week of teaching.
But since we have received some questions about course choice etc., we would like to provide relevant information to you early on as well as offer the option to ask some questions and get to know us.
