The OWO
OWO = Orientation Week
The Orientation Week (or OWO for short) is the week before the actual start of your studies. Traditionally, you get to know the university in small groups with other freshmen (or affectionately known as Erstis). Students from higher semesters show and explain everything you need to know for a successful study. But mainly it’s about getting to know other people; so there is always a city rally, an evening program and many other joint activities.
Orientation week will be held this year from 09.10 to 13.10.
When does the OWO take place?

Online HSQ
The Hochspannungsquelle (HSQ) is our annual magazine for first-year students.
It is full of important information about the start of your studies, life in Darmstadt as a student, the university itself and actually everything that could somehow have to do with your studies. So if you have any questions about your studies, feel free to take a look.
The Fachschaft
Who we are
The voice of the students - this short motto can summarize the work of the student council. Not only do we perform “official” tasks in the university’s committees, but we also offer various services for students in the form of a non-profit association. In this way, we try to support students as much as possible in their studies, by providing study advice, collecting exams and much more.
So, just like you are now, we are students and work voluntarily in the student council. If you are interested in getting involved in shaping your studies, take a look at the website of your student representatives.
