Start of the sum­mer semester 2025: Wel­come to Pader­born Uni­ver­sity

Location: Lecture hall L1

On Tuesday, 1 April, Paderborn University invites all new students to the L1 lecture hall at 9 a.m. to celebrate the start of their studies. The first-semester students will have the opportunity to get to know Paderborn University in all its facets.

On the same day, the newly elected Executive Board of Paderborn University will take office, meaning that University President Prof. Dr. Matthias Bauer will welcome the first-semester students for the first time. Together with Prof. Dr. Beate Flath, Vice President for Studies, Teaching and Quality Management, and Michael Dreier, Mayor of the City of Paderborn, he will talk about the unique opportunities offered by the Paderborn University and the City of Paderborn. Ulrich Schmidt from the Studierendenwerk will present the student finance, catering and accommodation services on offer. Torsten He? and Lena Wobbe provide insights into campus life and the activities of the General Student Committee (AStA) and student health management. Author, poetry slammer and musician Florian Wintels, who won the German-language poetry slam championships in 2022 and studied at Paderborn University himself, will provide pop culture insights. The event will be moderated by Julia Ures. Afterwards, Prof. Bauer and Prof. Flath will invite the first-year students to a small "Welcome Coffee" and will personally serve coffee, tea and small snacks in the L-Foyer to ensure a successful start to the studies.
