Our Welcome Day – Starting your Studies

The first semester begins every year with our “Welcome Day” because we want you to settle in and feel at home quickly at the University of Hamburg. On this day we introduce our faculty and the campus with all its facilities. You can meet with professors and advanced master’s students and become familiar with the curriculum and the examination regulations. We strongly recommend all students to participate in this event.

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 advisable that you participate in the preparatory course “Intermediate 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 highly recommended. The preparatory course starts before the beginning of regular first semester courses.

Date: 30 September - 10 October 2024
