The most important dates and offers for the start of studies
At the University of Kassel there is not the an introductory event. Rather, there is an extensive offer of different "Veranstalter:innen":
- On the one hand, the departments offer an official program. This type of introductory event is about the subject of study: What is this subject thematically about? Which majors are offered in Kassel? Which professors and subject areas determine the content? So: by all means attend and ask questions!
- For some (not all) courses and subjects we recommend participation in preliminary courses. Pre-courses are aimed at first-year students who would like to refresh their knowledge in certain subjects. The preliminary courses start before the introduction dates.
- Often the student councils also offer introductory courses. The student council is part of the student self-organization and deals with the specific questions of the students of a department. In terms of content, it deals with questions about the course of studies, the organization of the curriculum, the organization of learning and examinations. The student councils thus offer help with the question of how best to study this subject.
- In addition, there are "welcome events": First semester welcome, offers for students with children, offers for international students.

Pre-course/Propaedeuticum
30.09.-04.10.24 Pre-course Spanish
In order to be able to study successfully, it is important that you develop your language skills quickly after starting your studies so that you can easily use Spanish at level B1, both in order to successfully complete the individual modules of language practice and to participate in the courses of the specialist sciences. We support you in this by offering special language practice courses, known as propaedeutic courses, which are taught exclusively by native speakers: Within the first winter semester, you will reach B1 level through a combination of block courses and regular weekly sessions.
I do not yet have a B1 language level.
If you do not yet have a B1 language level at the start of your studies, you can catch up on the necessary skills in a preliminary course and during the semester. To the Spanish preliminary course
I have language level B1 or higher
If you can already prove that you have level B1, it is possible to attend the courses of the first module of the language practice directly.
If you have an even higher language level, please take the placement test scheduled immediately before the start of the semester in order to find a suitable starting point for the language practice modules:
