Our Welcome Day – Starting your Studies

The first PEP semester begins every year with our “Welcome Day” because we want you to settle in and feel at home quickly at Universität Hamburg. On this day we introduce our faculty and the campus with all its facilities. You get to talk with our teaching staff, meet master’s students of higher semesters and become familiar with the procedures. You can find more information about “Welcome Day” here.

Your Preparatory Course in Microeconomics
If in your bachelor’s studies you did not complete courses in economics or if this is some time ago, it is imperative that you should participate in the preparatory course “Microeconomics”. This course introduces the students of the master’s program in Politics, Economics and Philosophy (PEP) to the foundations of microeconomics and is indispensable for understanding the compulsory economics courses in your master’s program. Enrollment in the preparatory course is optional: however, it is strongly recommended. The preparatory course starts before the beginning of regular first semester courses. You can find more information about the preparatory course in microeconomics here.
