Welcoming the freshmen at the Hochschule Niederrhein

The introductory events and preliminary courses are organized in the respective faculties and start at different times, sometimes already in March. Since we strongly recommend participation based on the experience of previous years, please check the pages of the faculties in good time to find out when, where and how things will start for you.

You can and should also participate in the introductory events if you have not yet registered, but it is clear that you will do so!

If you have any needs at the events due to a disability or chronic illness, please let the faculty know as early as possible so that we can respond to them.

Shipping preparation of the Study Package 2022
Study Package for all study starters

All first-year students receive the Study Package during the introductory week of their faculty. Our small welcome package contains a few small welcome gifts and our pocket guide for first-year students. In it you will find all information about our offers, the library, our platforms and much more.

At the start of your studies, of course, you don't know your way around yet. The Hochschule Niederrhein makes it easier for all first-year students to find their way into their studies, into the respective faculty and at the university location. The first-semester tutors make a significant contribution to this. They are students from the higher semesters who provide help and advice - usually recognizable by their blue T-shirts. They are specially prepared and qualified for their work by the tutoring program.
